Yes, it works in xterm to set the window title.
It also works in Putty.
I use ksh for my accounts, and bash for oracle accounts.
Following are the xtitle functions I use.
# put a new title on xterm window
function xtitle {
if [ "$TERM" = "xterm2" -o "$TERM" = "xterm" ] ;then
echo '^[]0;'${*}'^G'"\c"
else
echo 'Sorry, this is not an xterm window'
fi
}
# bash version of xtitle
#function xtitle {
#typeset title=$*
#if [ "$TERM" = "xterm2" -o "$TERM" = "xterm" ] ;then
#export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;"'$title'" -
${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:
${PWD}\007"'
#else
#echo 'Sorry, this is not an xterm window'
#fi
#}
# do not call mx from other functions, such as go(), as mx will mess up the
formatting
function my_xtitle {
xtitle ${USER}@${MACHINE}-$(tty)
clear # clear screen
}
# do not call mx from other functions, such as go(), as mx will mess up the
formatting
function db_xtitle {
xtitle ${ORACLE_SID} ${USER}@${MACHINE}-$(tty)
}
