The following script will work with aix/dt/xterm.
#!/bin/ksh
echo "\033]0;$1\007"
To run, enter the following:
chtitle <Message>
To change the title of the aixterm dynamically, enter the following at the command line.
echo "^[]#;name"
Where # is:
0 - will print both the window name and title when iconified.
1 - will print the title on the icon but leave the window title intact.
2 - will print the window name without the title name changing when iconified.
NOTE:The following instructions are written for the Korn shell (ksh).
Change the line in /usr/dt/bin/Xsession from:
TERM=dtterm to TERM=noneNow, insert the following in your .kshrc
if [ ${SHELL##/*/} = "ksh" ] ; then if [[ $TERM = *"term" ]] ; then export PS1="C:/>" HOSTNAME=`uname -n` label () { echo "\\033]0;$*\\007\\c"; } alias stripe='label `whoami` on $HOSTNAME - $PWD' cds () { "cd" $*; eval stripe; } tns () { "tn" $*; eval stripe; } rl () { "rlogin" $*; eval stripe; } alias cd=cds alias tn=tns fi fi
You can change the alias stripe line to read:
alias stripe='label $LOGNAME on $HOSTNAME - ${PWD#$HOME/}'
This will display only the name of the directory (not the fully qualified path), you are currently in if it is within your home directory. If you are in a directory that is not a subdirectory of your $HOME, it will display the fully qualified path.
if ( $TERM == aixterm ) then set prompt="[%~] %n@%m % " alias cwdcmd 'echo -n "^[]2;`whoami` on ${HOST} - $cwd^G^[]1;${HOST}^G"' alias vi 'echo -n "^[]2;${HOST} - editing file-> \!*^G" ; /usr/bin/vi \!* ; cwdcmd' alias telnet '/bin/telnet \!* ; cwdcmd' alias rlogin '/usr/bin/rlogin \!* ; cwdcmd' cwdcmd else set prompt="[%~] %n@%m % " endif
This adds Editing <filename> to the titlebar whenever you are using vi to edit a file.
The number of lines is controlled by the saveLines resource. You can use this in the user's .Xdefaults, like the example below.
aixterm*saveLines: <number_of_lines>or
aixterm -sl -sb 500
Run the following command from the command line to change the width of the scrollbar of the dtterm.
dtterm -xrm "*dtTermScrollBar.width: 5"
Or, you can make an entry in $HOME/.Xdefaults that reads:
Dtterm*dtTermScrollBar*width: 5
Place the following script in .kshrc.
if [ $TERM = dtterm ] then export MYVAR=myvalue export MYVAR2=myvalue2 fi
The preceding script will set the two variables for any dtterm which is opened.
Add the following line to .profile:
export SPECIAL_ENV=noAdd the following to .kshrc:
if [ $SPECIAL_ENV = yes ] then export MYVAR=myvalue export MYVAR2=myvalue2 fiCreate a shell script that looks like the following:
#!/bin/ksh export SPECIAL_ENV=yes /usr/dt/bin/dtterm
When you would like to use a dtterm that has this special environment
set, you will need to execute the script that you created above. You could
have your shell script call any other terminal window.
