How can I put the current running process name into a GNOME Terminal tab title (or title bar when there’s only one tab)? To clarify, I want the tab title to update when I run a process.
This works perfectly for me with Gnome-Terminal/Terminator:
# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir case "$TERM" in xterm*|rxvt*) PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"' # Show the currently running command in the terminal title: # http://www.davidpashley.com/articles/xterm-titles-with-bash.html show_command_in_title_bar() { case "$BASH_COMMAND" in *\033]0*) # The command is trying to set the title bar as well; # this is most likely the execution of $PROMPT_COMMAND. # In any case nested escapes confuse the terminal, so don't # output them. ;; *) echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${BASH_COMMAND}\007" ;; esac } trap show_command_in_title_bar DEBUG ;; *) ;; esac
