I was using this as my ps1
PS1='[...@\[\e[1;31m\]\h\[\e[0m\]:$PWD]\$ '
But I wanted to label the title of my xterm windows with the hostname of
system Im logged into. So I added the following
PS1='[...@\[\e[1;45m\]\h\[\e[0m\] $PWD]\e]2;@ \H\a\$ '
It works great except for it rewrites the current
An old thread but I found a way around this by adding a line to my bashrc:
echo -ne "\033]0; `whoami` @ `hostname` \007"

ittle more control in my window manager. But you are correct in
saying that my .bashrc workaround is not the proper way to handle my problem
since it does not handle a scenario where multiple logouts are performed
after a chain of logins.
