If we are sharing silly shell tips, this one is a golden oldie.
Here is a variant I have in my .bashrc :
#############################################################
# let the xterm titlebar show the current dir
xtitle() {
if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ]; then
echo -n -e "\033]0;$@\007" >/dev/tty
fi
}
# Change the 'cd' 'pushd' 'popd' commands to use xtitle()
cd() {
builtin cd $1
xtitle ${HOSTNAME%%.*}: $PWD
}
pushd() {
builtin pushd $1
xtitle ${HOSTNAME%%.*}: $PWD
}
popd() {
builtin popd $1
xtitle ${HOSTNAME%%.*}: $PWD
}
# this will set the title upon invocation of an xterm
cd .
