hey...

curious question...

how does one go about changing the title of the current gnome-terminal via
the cmdline...

it appears that the escape sequences i've tried aren't working...

thoughts/comments/pointers appreciated...

thanks


Here is a bit of my .tcshrc that does this. The escape codes here should be obvious, and are the same for most terminal emulators, such as xterm and kterm:

        set prompt = "%m {%h} %t %U%~%u "
if ( $TERM == "xterm" || $TERM == "dtterm" || $TERM == "kterm" ) then
#               set color ls
set term_esc = "^[]2;" # escape, right bracket, 2, semi-colon.
                set esc_end = "^G" # Control G
alias precmd 'echo -n "${term_esc} ${HOST}:${cwd} ${esc_end} "'

        endif

This puts the host name and current working directory on my terminal title bar. Even when logged in remotely, which is the point for me. Just hafta to know for sure before typing 'sudo reboot'!

Good luck!
