Hello and thanks for the reply
I don't have the possibility to change the remote host
I was hopping to be able to change the color of the xterm window
Every time I log in into remote host but to control it from cygwin
For example if I type :
Can it be done ?
Also I can't find the file /usr/share/doc/xterm-229/ctlseqs.txt
In my installation is there some web reference to that ?
Thanks allot

Hello all
Im new to cygwin and X im using the
cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat for simple x display
for using the unix tools in windows and to connect with ssh to unix
accounts
now i like to be able to change the color of the xterm every time I
connect with ssh to remote host
can it be done ?
Thanks
To change the xterm background to pink, use this command:
$ echo -e '\e]11;pink\007'
To do this automatically when you log in via ssh, add the following
to your .bash_profile on the remote host.
if [ ! -z $SSH_TTY ];then echo -e '\e]11;pink\007';fi
To ensure this only happens on interactive shells, change the first
part to:
if [[ $- == *i* ]] [ ! -z $SSH_TTY ];then ...
Read the file /usr/share/doc/xterm-229/ctlseqs.txt for other escape
sequences you can use to control xterm.
Phil
