Re: OT: jobname xterm title in bash?

[Lucas Barbuto <lucas@qk.com.au>]

Hi Guys,

I too have wanted this for a while.  For those who came in late (I have
been following this thread from the start), can someone please write the
_full_ explanation of how to get this working, or point me to a resource
that explains it?

I assume this goes in ~/.bashrc, do I need to include it in a
PROMPT_COMMAND or PS1 statement?  I've tried a couple of things and
managed to get the current command to echo to the terminal but not into
the title bar.  I'm stuck.  Anyone?

Regards,
