While this is not Cygwin-specific, I got curious how linux does this since
I've noticed the TERM setting effects whether my title is set in rxvt. From
my RH-7.2 box's /etc/bashrc (spacing will probably be screwed up):
-----------------snip-----------------
case $TERM in
xterm*)
if [ -e /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm ]; then
PROMPT_COMMAND=/etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm
else
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne
"\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
fi
;;
*)
[ -e /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-default ] &&
PROMPT_COMMAND=/etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-default
;;
esac
[ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "
-----------------snip-----------------
and, from "man bash":
PROMPT_COMMAND
If set, the value is executed as a command prior to
issuing each primary prompt.
My personal favorite thing to do is put the current time:
export PS1=$PS1"\[\e]0;[\t]\a\]"
Note that this will screw you up if you use the full-screen console on Linux
unless you protect the TERM=linux. As for Cygwin, though, it works in both the
cmd-console and rxvt.
