XTerm Titles
Standard disclaimer: use the information that follows at
your own risk. If you screw up a system, don't blame it on me...
mailto: dkoleary@olearycomputers.com
To update the title bar of an xterm whenever you cd into another directory,
enter the following into your ~/.kshrc file:
mcd()
{
Me=$(whoami)
Host=$(hostname)
cd $*
Pwd=$(pwd)
echo "<ctrl>-v<ESC>]0;${Me}@${Host}:${Pwd}<ctrl>-v<ctrl>-g\c"
}
alias cd="mcd"
Two minor points:
The normal cd<enter> won't work anymore; enter cd ~
This function will lock up dtterms. It'll log in with hpterms (just
won't update the title); however, you'll never see a prompt if you're using
dtterms. Use this function if you want to use Xterms only!
