Change the window name for putty
Hi everyone ,
Happy new year !
I have a question , hope someone will respond to me .
I will be logging into so many servers in the same putty . So , whenever i loggedoff and loggedin into anonther server , putty window will change accordingly to the server name .
If the above is not clear . hope it will be clear with below example .
Example : I will login into the putty , then i have logged into one server , say SERVER1 so here putty window name should change as SERVER1 , then i logged off from SERVER1 and logged into SERVER2 , now the putty window name should change to SERVER2 .
Thanks in advance .
