How can I arbitrarily change the title of a Terminal window in Mac OS X? I have seen this question and this magicwrap thing, but think it's just a simple Mac OS X command.
Answer
This article tells you how.
Essentially, you use character sequences echoed to the screen to inform the terminal of what title it should display.
title='My first title'
echo -n -e "\033]0;$title\007"
In the above example, whatever the variable title is set to while become the terminal's title. Of course, you could just have the title in the string to echo such as:
echo -n -e "\033]0;My first title\007"
But the first way makes it a slightly bit easier to use and/or extend later.
