What I do, is I use tcsh and have the following line in my .cshrc
file:
if ($?TERM && ($TERM == "xterm" || $TERM == "screen" || $TERM == "rxvt"))
then
alias cwdcmd 'echo -n "]2;"/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"$cwd]1;"{$HOST}""'
cwdcmd
endif
Note that those control characters go like this:
"ESC]2;"
"$cwd^GESC]1;"
"^G"
in case they don't make it through the email... cwdcmd is a command
that tcsh runs each time you change directories.
You should be able to work the tty in there too, since tcsh stores the
tty as "$tty".
This produces a titlebar (this works in PuTTY too) like (e.g.) this:
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
Hope this helps.
