If it got the title from .Xresources then it wouldn't be dynamic, would it! I'm
guessing the resource for the rxvt title is looked at only once when rxvt runs.
On top
of that, your .Xresources are only read once (barring manully running xrdb)
when you
start X (or log in to xdm). If what you're looking for is a way to update the
title
with your user name, current directory, etc. then what you need to do is use
the bash
PROMPT_COMMAND. bash runs the contents of this variable each time the prompt is
printed (you could achieve similar effect using the PS1 variable). Here's a
snip from
a .bash_profile to get you started:
if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" -o "$TERM" = "xterm-color" -o \
"$TERM" = "rxvt" -o "$TERM" = "vs100" ]
then
HOST=`hostname`
USER=${USER:-$(whoami)}
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;$HOST($USER):$PWD\007"'
fi
What's that? You don't run bash? If you don't run bash I don't know how to make
your
shell do this. With ksh you should be able to get things working using the PS1
variable.
