Set window title in tmux or screen to the hostname you are connecting by ssh


To set the window title in tmux or screen to the hostname you are connecting by ssh, add this to your ~/.bashrc:

settitle() {
    printf "\033k$1\033\\"
}

ssh() {
    local sshargs=("$@")
    local do_settitle=1
    tty -s || local do_settitle=0
    if [ "${TERM:0:6}" != "screen" ]; then
        local do_settitle=0
    fi
    if [ $do_settitle -eq 1 ]; then
        if [ "$1" == "-l" ]; then
            shift 2
        fi
       settitle "$*"
    fi
    command ssh "${sshargs[@]}"
    if [ $do_settitle -eq 1 ]; then
        settitle "bash"
    fi
}
