Change / Set the title of your xterm window

This is a small script that changes the title of any xterm window. It consists of two lines:

Code:


#!/bin/sh
printf "\033]0;$1\007"

Usage: ./chtitle.sh YourTitleHere

You can replace $1 with a title and include this in your login scripts if you like.
