HowTo : Logging to terminal on JunOS

In Cisco IOS, if you had logging configured, by default you could see logs on console, or using terminal monitor with a terminal connection.

It’s almost the same with JunOS. You have to get your logging parameters configured and then entering monitor start LOG_FILENAME

Terminator (terminal emulator) config

I was using Konsole terminal emulator on my Ubuntu machine, but now I have moved to Terminator.

Just to have my own Terminator configuration for later usage:

me@ubuntu:~$ cat .config/terminator/config
[global_config]
title_receive_bg_color = "#ff0000"
enabled_plugins = LaunchpadCodeURLHandler, APTURLHandler, LaunchpadBugURLHandler
title_transmit_bg_color = "#339966"
suppress_multiple_term_dialog = True
inactive_color_offset = 0.64

[keybindings]
search = <Ctrl>F
close_window = <Ctrl><Shift>W
next_tab = <Ctrl><Tab>
split_horiz = <Primary>d
close_term = <Ctrl>s
cycle_next = <Ctrl>Tab
split_vert = <Primary>t
new_tab = <Primary><Shift>t

[profiles]

[[default]]
use_system_font = False
font = Monospace 9
visible_bell = True
background_darkness = 0.74
background_type = transparent
background_image = None
cursor_color = "#eb1414"
foreground_color = "#00cc00"

GNOME Terminal – running process/command name in tab title

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
