  • Putty windows title under linux

    From Chris Townley@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 24 01:44:05 2023
    I have been using PuTTY for over 20 years, but now have a small problem

    I an running OpenVMS in KVM, on Ubuntu, and can currently only access
    the machine console using the virsh console from a local bash session.

    The linux version of PuTTY does not allow access to the change settings
    like the Windows version, so it just shows the KVM hostname. I would
    like to change his using a scripts, but am unsure of the escape
    sequences needed to change the window

    I cannot find anything i the docs, or FAQ

    Does anyone have any idea what I need to send?

    Thanks

    It should - you can Ctrl + right-click the window and get a PuTTY
    context menu including 'Change Settings'.

    Try sending ESC [ 2 ; your-title-here ESC \

    Never knew that! Much more convenient
    Is there any documentation specific to the *nix version of PuTTY?

    That seems to do the trick - many thanks
