putty title window?
I have implemented the solution from mschwage located in post
https://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-ex...e-window.html; ie
wt ()
{
echo -n "^[]2;${@}^G"
}
This method is awesome!!!!
The reason I am sending you this message is to get your assistance with another issue I am runing into in respect to the window title.
This issue is - after putty'ng to system (A) the title changes appropriately... while logged into system (A) I run "ssh user@B" via the command line. This now changes the title to system (B). So far everything works as expected, until I exit system (B). The result is the the window title still reflects system system (B).
How do I get the window title to change back to system (A) on exiting system (B)? I'd like this to be automated.
Thanks!!!!

xtitle
XTITLE(1) General Commands Manual XTITLE(1)
NAME
xtitle - set window title and icon name for an X11 terminal window
SYNOPSIS
xtitle [ -tiq ] [ -- ] string ... | [ -V ] [ -h ]
DESCRIPTION
Xtitle will set the window title and/or the icon name of the terminal window in which it is run to be its command line arguments. It does
this by outputting the appropriate xterm(1) control sequence characters. Unless suppressed, xtitle will also report the settings it has
made.
OPTIONS
-- Interprets all following arguments as strings instead of options.
-h, --help
Prints a helpful usage message.
-i, --icon
Only set the icon name. Default sets both.
-t, --title
Only set the window title. Default sets both.
-v, --verbose
Quiet mode. Doesn't report the settings performed.
-V, --version
Only prints the program version.
CAVEATS
Xtitle is known to work with xterm(1) and dtterm(1). The effect of the control sequences in other terminals is not known, though I
wouldn't expect any problems.
