Change putty title name
Hello all,
I have a not so unix question for you guys(or maybe it is). I use PUTTY to login to serverA (my putty title shows as serverA.domainname.com)
Now from ServerA i do ssh user@ServerB (i have ssh public private key setup)...
now my question is when i do ssh and logon to serverB...my putty title still shows as serverA.domainname.com....is there anyway to "AUTOMATICALLY" change that to ServerB.domainname.com without going into putty menu and stuff ???
---------- Post updated at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous update was at 12:11 PM ----------
i know i can use something like below to change the title..but how can it be down automatically ?? without change profile and stuff on each server i do ssh to
printf "\033]0;asdf\007"
