Hi,thanks for the tip with the 'command ssh' instead of /ust/bin/ssh trick... didn't know about that.
I quickly hacked this script into my ~/.profile a while ago, so it may not be that beautiful from a cosmetic point of view. Indeed I can leave out the semicolons, they're just still there because this was a one-liner to begin with ;)
I do 'revert' my screen title after the ssh command terminates. I just don't revert it to the local hostname, but always set the title to the current directory (at least, to the last 20 characters of $PWD) :-)
This is also in my ~/.profileThe PROMPT_COMMAND from bash is executed each time after any command was executed. As this is really executed each and every time, it needs to be lightning fast - that's why I coded it entirely in bash. Yes, I know I could theoretically use sed or perl or whatever... ;-)
PROMPT_COMMAND=' if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then MYPWD="${PWD/#$HOME/~}" [ ${#MYPWD} -gt 20 ] && MYPWD=..${MYPWD:${#MYPWD}-18} echo -n -e "\033k$MYPWD\033\\" fi ' Cheers, Malte Gokdeniz Karadag schrieb:
Hi, in your script, it would be better to revert it back to local hostname after ssh finishes.Both this and LocalCommand seems neat, too bad that I have solved it by manually setting PS1 on all machines :)------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2008 11:25:00 +0100 From: Malte Skoruppa <address@hidden> Subject: Re: Setting window title in ssh'ed host To: address@hidden Message-ID: <address@hidden> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi, I solved the problem in bash by editing my ~/.profile file: ssh() { args=$@ echo -ne "\033k${args##* }\033\\"; /usr/bin/ssh "$@"; } It"s a rather simple script, whenever you call ssh, first this script is executed, which calls the real ssh in the end, with the same arguments. Before it does that, however, it sets the screen title to the last argument of the ssh command. Usually, this is the hostname, at least for the way I enter commands ;-) Malte _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list address@hidden http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
