This is a little better:
cd ()
{
# do the actual cd
builtin cd "$@" # if in homedir, then make path '~', not full path
if [ $PWD == $HOME ]; then
XTDIR="~"
else
XTDIR="$PWD"
fi # set xtset title and icon to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:path
/usr/local/bin/xtset [EMAIL PROTECTED]:`echo $XTDIR`
}# force an xtset title at shell login: cd

Found a solution!
In ~/.bashrc, put this:
cd () { builtin cd "$@" /usr/local/bin/xtset [EMAIL PROTECTED]:`pwd` }

Hello,
Hey, does anybody know of any useful tricks for automating xtset or xtermset?
I use xtset to set the title and icon labels to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:path so I can keep track of my xterms littered all over my desktop (pretty frequent! :)
But it sure would be nice to have them updated whenever I 'cd' to another directory or 'su' to another user or 'ssh' to another host!
I'm sure there's got to be someway to make this a little more seamless then running # xtset [EMAIL PROTECTED]:`pwd` everytime, but I'm just not good enough with shell programming to know how to do this.
The closest I came was writing a small bash script that does:
for filename in /dev/ttyp*; do /usr/local/bin/xtset [EMAIL PROTECTED]:`pwd` > "$filename" done
And thought about cron'ing it (every minute), but the problem is that when I tested this, all my xterms get the same title/icon based on who is running the script and where at the time. No good :(
(And of course this would be useless to update the titles/icons for xterms that are remote shells (ssh).
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Duane
