Configuration dtterm

grennepois johann — Thu, 07 Mar 2002 16:05:21 GMT

Hi,

I would like to change the title of the active dtterm (not to open a new one like dtterm -title "toto").

Thanks for your help.

Very similar eg ....

To dynamically change the title of each terminal window to reflect the hostname of the current machine, add the following lines (exactly as they are appear here) to the end of the user's .profile file in the user's $HOME directory:

if [ "$TERM" = "hpterm" ] ; then
HOSTNAME=$(hostname)
LENGTH=${#HOSTNAME}
echo "\033&f0k${LENGTH}D${HOSTNAME}"

echo "\033&f-1k${LENGTH}D${HOSTNAME}"

elif [ "$TERM" = "dtterm" ] || [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ] ; then
echo "\033[2;$(hostname)\007"
fi
