And what if you type export TERM=xterm+sl and then repeat the above tput commands ? That should give you the same effect as Ralph has hardcoded into his prompt, assuming you have the correct terminfo entry > Not sure how to use infocmp, but tput does not show up, and > > $ infocmp | grep mlterm Hmm, I might have been a bit terse. Tput allows you to look up escape sequences in the terminfo/termcap database. We are interested in tsl (escape sequence to write to the status bar). infocmp displays the whole database, so you could type infocmp mlterm | grep tsl infocmp xterm+sl | grep tsl to find this sequence. Man 8 terminfo gives you an explanation of the escape codes. If none of that works, try Ralph's hardcoded approach, eg echo -e "\033]0;hello\007" In an effort to trim things, many distributions ship only a small subset of the terminfo database by default, and relegate the rest to an optional package... regards marc _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
