Hello
Well I don't know the way of life of a GNOME but I can tell You how I do it
with a normal Xterm. There are other wayes too, so if it does not work for
You watch out for other methodes.
Be aware :
the "^" followed by a "[" is a single sign which means
ESCAPE = 27 dez = 0x1b hex
In vi You can get such sign by
press and hold <CTRL> press+release <V> press+release <ESC> release <CTRL>
or anything like that.
To make it easier for You I send this file as an atachement too.
Minde the "^G" as well. (The second one rings the bell)
Here comes my stupid script called chneme :
------------------8<------------------8<------------------8<---------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Tool to set the Name of a XTerm or AIXTerm
# postum .
# ---------------------------------------------
#
[ "$1" = "-h" -o "$1" = "-help" -o "$1" = "--help" ] && echo "
Tool to set the Name of a XTerm or AIXTerm
usage: $0 [ -u Usename ] New_Terminal_Name" && exit 0
if [ "$1" = "-u" ] ; then
USER=$2
shift 2
for T in `who | grep $USER | awk '{print $2}'` ; do
printf "]0;${1}" > /dev/$T
done
exit 0
fi
printf "]0;${1}"
