I seem to remember ssh'ing into an old Gentoo box and having the window title change to the currently executing command. For instance, when emerging something that had 10 packages, the title would show something like
emerging (4 of 10) perl_something_or_other I'm not sure whether I was using screen at the time, or not. I'm not even positive I was using Putty (I might have been on another 'nix). Can anyone help me out? Thanks, festus -- I just want to break even.
