Hi all,
does any one have any idea on how to sets the remote server's name on ubuntu terminal tabs,
without making any changes to the remote server?

for example if i'm working on ssh root@test1
i would like it to be shown on the tittle's tab and if i connect on another it would do the same even if i open multiple tabs for multiple servers.

Does any one have any workaround?

Is ubuntu terminal even capable of this? Does it obey the usual xterm-style escape sequences for setting a terminal title?

Yes it does,
simply cant figure it out to change the tab tittle when i connect to remote servers.

First google hit for xterm set title.

Of course, it may be setting the tab title already (every time it prompts) which you'd need to override by changing the PS1 variable. Otherwise, you'd never see changes because every time it goes back to the prompt it'd change it straight back.

I already have this link buddy,thanks any way for trying.

I also told you why it may not be working for you.

So what have you tried? In what way does it not work?

Hello,
I do this with my .profile file. I'm a BASH user so this is what I do.
I set this in my prompt.

Code:

export PS1="\[\e]2;\h:\w \a\[\e[0;31m\]\u@\e[0;32m\h\e[0;34m\]>\[\e[0m\] "

I think the bold part is the title bar part. This works on MAC, RHEL and Solaris. It also works with both xterm and terminal.

I hope this helps
