Thanks, Aaron...Using ssh is brilliant. I have a script I set up once called bashprompt that I stick in /etc and source from .bashrc, but this could be a more elegant solution (though somewhat higher maintenance).

Well, it depends. LocalCommand is a command that is running local to your
SSH client. I'm not sure what is available to you on a Windows machine with
PuTTY, but you can certainly dig around and see what you get. Or you could
install Cygwin, and get access to a unix-like environment, where you have
better tools to do something like this.
