As it might be apparent by now, I got the initial idea from : http://www.davidpashley.com/articles/xterm-titles-with-bash.html And today after many searches with keywords containing GNU-Screen (and several related ones) I got the solution by searching for david pashley. :) On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 1:19 PM, Srirang Doddihal <om.brahm...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi, > > I am fairly new to GNU-Screen.
