PuTTY TITLE

./hari.sh · #1 (**permalink**) 10-10-2008

Is it possible to set the PuTTY title to show the current hostname of the terminal opened?

I meant to say I would be rlogin between servers, that should be updated in PuTTTY title ?

and maybe this might help:

Also Pls note the error if I try xterm inside the terminal

Code:

xterm
Error: Can't open display:
Error: Couldn't find per display information

Dude, just do a search for putty title. Should be a bunch of stuff, including my awesome technique...

...Never mind, I am kind. The link is here: Name of path

You'll need to edit your .bashrc on all servers you log into.

You can puttcm - a multitab client that uses putty. It will automatically display server names or connection names.
