I know this is an old post, but wanted to bring it up. This works perfectly fine for putty....i have something like below that change my putty title when i do
ssh username@server name....
Code:
# SSH Wrapper
ssh()
{
set -A args "$@"
#try find out destination
while [[ $1 = -* ]]; do shift; done
printf '\033]0;%s\007' "$1"
command ssh "${args[@]}"
printf '\033]0;%s\007' "`whoami`@`hostname`"
}
But now i have a question with regards to another tool...Putty connection manager or any other Tabbed style putty tool...the title dose not seems to change...is there anything special i need to do to get that changed for putty connection manager??
