Hi,
Last 2 weeks I have searched many forums and i haven't found the answer for the question:
How to get all command output to Putty title?
Needed it for other programs to know when some jobs on a server is done and is it done right or wrong. Plink stdout and stdin wasn't working, i used many tweaks with wait delays and for some commands that worked for others not. XSEL and XCLIP couldn't be installed on that server.
So here is the solution:
1. Get command output in a file.
2. Echo that file to title.
on putty client and suse server it looks like this:
Hopefully someone will be able to use this. It won't work for all server types and putty client settings, of course, but the idea should work well.
Best
Jacek
