Put this in every one of your .bashrc files (i.e. on every machine):
set_title() {
echo -ne "\033]0;$*\007"
}
Then if your autogenerated files gank your title, you can gank it right
back:
$ set_title mercury
Here's a more complete setup:
setup() {
set_title `hostname`
export PS1='\h$ '
unalias PROMPT_COMMAND
}
Which gets rid of the "write a term title after every command"
cutesiness.
Best solution is to learn how the setup files work and modify them to
suit yourself.
HTH,
