In some initial cygwin window, execute the following command line:
setpgrp rxvt --backspacekey ^H -sbt 15 -fg white -bg black -geometry
+75+80 -sr -title "SYSTEMxx" -tn ansi -sl 1500 -fn 'Lucida Console-12'
-e ksh &
and replace "SYSTEMxx" with what ever label you like. This will create
another window with a shell and place the label at the top of the new
window. You can then type in that window. If you don't have a copy of
"setprgp.exe", you can remove it. However, an interrupt in ANY window
will them them all off. Or you can get a copy at:
http://pmcferrin.homedns.org/setpgrp.exe It is a simple program that
executees the setpgrp(2) system call before executing the arguments.
With the above, there is no need to worry about the fuss of using escape
sequences to set your window's title. Each window will have it's own
complete and independant environment to do anything. The source to
setpgrp.c is at: http://pmcferrin.homedns.org/setpgrp.c

Simple question here. I am trying to figure out a way to name a cygwin
shell
so that I can have multiple windows up doing tails and other such
functions

I know that in CMD if i want to change the name of a CMD window to
shellname
the command the command is simply> title shellname
It was suggested that for cygwin i would use> cmd /c title=shellname
but that die not work. does any one know how I could accomplish this?
