HOSTNAME=www.mm-vanecek.cc

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'

Unless I am missing something, everything looks OK to me?
[root@www root]# hostname -s
www
[root@www root]# hostname -d
mm-vanecek.cc
[root@www root]# hostname --fqdn
www.mm-vanecek.cc
One of the problems one runs into on occasion is what one meass when they say
host or hostname. Do they want the host name, the domain name, or the fully
qualified domain name? It is not always clear from the context and when one
should use what.
