Is it possible to change the title of a Terminal window on Solaris? For example, for a MS Windows command window, one can simply type "title NameofWindow" to change the title for a command window.

I was looking for similar functionality for terminal windows.

Thanks.

Ahhhh...c'mon....please don't tell me that this isn't possible or isn't as seamless as it is on Windoze ???

here2learn,

Although it is possible, I, for one, don't have the time to check into it - I do know it's set up somewhere in a login for it changed my title yesterday - but I could not find where when I went back to the same systems in a new window (whatever I did as far as logging in didn't change the second window). And that was all the time I had to spend on this as real work was keeping me busy.

Another thought - look at this - your second post may be considered for #4.

And if you are really here2learn, look at #5.

$ dtterm -title NameofWindow

if u use xterm:

$ xterm -T NameofWindow

Does this help?

local xterm:
xterm -sb -T windowTITLE -geometry 131x64+100+0 -fn fixed -bg gray -fg black -cr blue -e

xterm via ssh:
xterm -sb -T productionBOX -geometry 131x64+100+0 -fn fixed -bg gray -fg black -cr blue -e ssh productionBOX

xterm via telnet:
xterm -sb -T developmentBOX -geometry 128x65+100+0 -fn fixed -bg black -fg green -cr yellow -e telnet developmentBOX

That's what I'm talking about !!! The color tip is awesome !!! Would there actually be away to configure the terminal window to always startup with a certain color?

Thanks for the info.


PS. - Sorry RTM. I did do a search on here prior to posting. I'm usually very hesitant on posting until I do an exhaustive search. Guess I should have search a little harder. Apologize about the bumping.

here2learn - not a problem. Sometimes the searching can be difficult - you have to know what someone else may have posted - this should have come up for you in a search for terminal title
