To get only the hostname (\h is substituted with the hostname as you can read
in `man bash`) ...
# export PS1=$PS1'\[\033]0;\h\007\]'
Or for the ip you can try this evil command... ;) (it depends on
sys-apps/iproute2 and will be overridden by $PS1 -- try in another terminal if
you just typed the above command) ...
# export PROMPT_COMMAND="ip -o -4 addr show scope global | sed -r 's/.*
([12]?[0-9]?[0-9](\.[12]?[0-9]?[0-9]){3})\/.*/\x1b]0;\1\x7/'"
(If anyone knows a better way to get the ip and only the ip I'm interested...)
Anyway, what's wrong with Mike Williams' suggestion? That's works fine for me.
