1) Do an xterm -T mercury to open up xterms with titles.
2) Do an ssh on mercury to login to linux box.
I face the following issues -
1) The name of the new window is not mercury, it has now changed.
Since I need to open many such windows, I need to name them. Can you
tell me how to accomplish the same?
Put this in every one of your .bashrc files (i.e. on every machine):
set_title() {
echo -ne \033]0;$*\007
}
Then if your autogenerated files gank your title, you can gank it right
back:
$ set_title mercury
Here's a more complete setup:
setup() {
set_title `hostname`
export PS1='\h$ '
unalias PROMPT_COMMAND
}
Which gets rid of the write a term title after every command
cutesiness.
Best solution is to learn how the setup files work and modify them to
suit yourself.

Migrating to Cygwin-X
Hello, I used to work with Hummingbird Exceed earlier and then shifted to putty due to lack of an X-server. However, now I would like to move back to an X environment and therefore experimenting with Cygwin-X. My setup is that I have a Windows machine and I remotely connect to a linux box via ssh. Considering this I have installed Cygwin and then I run startxwin.sh. This opens an Xterm. Then I follow the following procedure: 1) Do an xterm -T mercury to open up xterms with titles. 2) Do an ssh on mercury to login to linux box. I face the following issues - 1) The name of the new window is not mercury, it has now changed. Since I need to open many such windows, I need to name them. Can you tell me how to accomplish the same? 2) I also need to change the default font. Currently it is too small. I prefer a fixed widht font with UTF-8 character set as default. Can anybody suggest something?
