Found a solution!
In ~/.bashrc, put this:
cd ()
{
builtin cd "$@"
/usr/local/bin/xtset [EMAIL PROTECTED]:`pwd`
}
I've got a slight problem with having the host/directory/etc on the
title bar. It will help clear my zsh right-prompt, of course.
But now, since I hammered out that little cd() function for .bashrc, I
found another little problem:
If I su to another user (for instance, "su - root"), the title changes
as long as the other account has my the function in .bashrc, but when
I exit, the title still has the old credentials (example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~) until I cd somewhere again. Sigh.
Don't use cd aliases for showing the current path in your xterm
titlebar. There's a more elegant way involving PROMPT_COMMAND:
bash-2.05b$ export PS1='\$ '
$ export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo ::`pwd`::'
::/home/keramida::
$ cd /etc
::/etc::
$ cd /usr/src
::/usr/src::
$ exit
exit
You can set PROMPT_COMMAND to any command you want, no matter how
complicated. A nice wrapper script around your "usual stuff" for
PROMPT_COMMAND can be called too with:
$ export PROMPT_COMMAND='/home/keramida/bin/promptcmd.sh'
Regarding the current username, host name and directory, you might be
interested in this output too:
$ echo $USER
keramida
$ hostname -s
orion
$ echo $PWD
/home/keramida
$
