This does that for me: export PS1="\[\e]2;\h:\w\007\e[1;36m\]\h [\[\e[1;35m\]\w\[\e[1;36m\]] \u $ \[\e[1;33m\]"
(Note that you need to have such a prompt on every computer you telnet to, as well -- they're the ones that send the ANSI sequences to your terminal client to set the title.) -----Original Message----- From: Gord Wait [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 5:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: bash window title - can I add hostname to it? I've been starting to use the telnet feature in cygwin's inetutils a lot lately, and it would be great if I could learn how to set the label of the bash window to include hostname as well as the current directory it displays now. I can't tell which of the two bash windows is which since both are running a 24 hour long FPGA compile.. Is there a way to do this? I'd be happy if it was a copy of the "PS1" value..
