Why would you tie this to your ssh command at all?
I have a postcmd in my shell like this (this is tcsh):
alias postcmd 'printf "\033%s%s %s %s\033\\" "k" "\!#:0" "\!#:$" "[$HOST]"'
What this means is: give me the first and last bits of any command I type
in my shelltitle (you'll find those are the important ones).
which gives me: ssh r...@systemname [prime.gushi.org] when I ssh into
systems that do NOT have a similar csh prompt.
If I ssh into another system that has the same shell setup, I get:
usr/local/bin/irc irc.prison.net [oldprime.gushi.org] as my title
This requires no special ssh privileges, works with ANY command, and works
even if you ssh from system a --> b --> c.
