Hello list,
Does anyone here know how to get the currently running program name to show
up in the title of your xterm windows? I don't mean using the "-T" or "-n"
switches; I mean something that occurs for every command you run. So if, for
example, I run a lengthy foreground job "foo", "foo" would appear in the xterm
title bar. MS-Windoze does this.
I swear I've seen this done on Unix. IIRC, it has something to do with a
prompt or alias or something in the shell that echos a control code to the tty
which xterm intercepts, or some similar magic. But before I go nuts trying to
find it, I figured I'd ask here.
advTHANKSance
