Hi,
thanks for the tip with the 'command ssh' instead of /ust/bin/ssh
trick... didn't know about that.
I quickly hacked this script into my ~/.profile a while ago, so it may
not be that beautiful from a cosmetic point of view. Indeed I can leave
out the semicolons, they're just still there because this was a
one-liner to begin with ;)
I do 'revert' my screen title after the ssh command terminates. I just
don't revert it to the local hostname, but always set the title to the
current directory (at least, to the last 20 characters of $PWD) :-)
This is also in my ~/.profile
The PROMPT_COMMAND from bash is executed each time after any command was
executed. As this is really executed each and every time, it needs to be
lightning fast - that's why I coded it entirely in bash. Yes, I know I
could theoretically use sed or perl or whatever... ;-)
PROMPT_COMMAND='
if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then
MYPWD="${PWD/#$HOME/~}"
[ ${#MYPWD} -gt 20 ] && MYPWD=..${MYPWD:${#MYPWD}-18}
echo -n -e "\033k$MYPWD\033\\"
fi
'
Cheers,
Malte

Hi, in your script, it would be better to revert it back to local

Both this and LocalCommand seems neat, too bad that I have solved it
by manually setting PS1 on all machines :)

Hi,
I solved the problem in bash by editing my ~/.profile file:
ssh() {
args=$@
echo -ne "\033k${args##* }\033\\";
/usr/bin/ssh "$@";
}
It"s a rather simple script, whenever you call ssh, first this script is
executed, which calls the real ssh in the end, with the same arguments.
Before it does that, however, it sets the screen title to the last
argument of the ssh command. Usually, this is the hostname, at least for
the way I enter commands ;-)
