xtset or xtermset tricks?

[Duane Winner]

Hello,

Hey, does anybody know of any useful tricks for automating xtset or 
xtermset?

I use xtset to set the title and icon labels to user at host:path so I can 
keep track of my xterms littered all over my desktop (pretty frequent! :)

But it sure would be nice to have them updated whenever I 'cd' to 
another directory or 'su' to another user or 'ssh' to another host!

I'm sure there's got to be someway to make this a little more seamless 
then running # xtset %u@%h:`pwd` everytime, but I'm just not good enough 
with shell programming to know how to do this.

The closest I came was writing a small bash script that does:

    for filename in /dev/ttyp*; do
       /usr/local/bin/xtset %u@%h:`pwd` > "$filename"
    done

And thought about cron'ing it (every minute), but the problem is that 
when I tested this, all my xterms get the same title/icon based on who 
is running the script and where at the time. No good :(
(And of course this would be useless to update the titles/icons for 
xterms that are remote shells (ssh).


Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Duane
