I have the following script in my .bashrc file - modify it for your own use:
# Changes titlebar text in xterm, eterm, etc. depending in the directory youare
working in; e.g [EMAIL PROTECTED] or hostname@/var/lib
prompt ()
{
MYPWD=`echo $PWD | sed "s/\/home\/traxus/\~/"` #echoes the current directory
#at startup...
echo -ne '\033]0;ashurbanipal@'$MYPWD' \007' #shows [EMAIL PROTECTED]
directory
unset MYPWD
}
if [ "x$DISPLAY" != "x" ]; then
export PROMPT_COMMAND=prompt
fi
--> I hope this is what you're looking for...
