[RHCE] xterm title bar

[John F Davis]

Hello

And with that, here is the magic incantation.  A little different from
their example since who cares about showing bash at the end of the prompt.

case $TERM in
      xterm*)
            PS1="\[\033]0;\u@\h: \w\007\]\W\\$ "
            ;;
      *)
            PS1="u@\h:\w\\$ "
            ;;
esac

So, you could call this title.sh as well and change the PS1 line to :

PS1="\[\033]0;$1 \u@\h: \w\007\]\W\\$ "


and do the same thing.

. title.sh debug (notice the . for in this current shell.)

xterm prompt is: debug davis@binune: ~/bin
PS1 prompt is: bin$
