Description David van Laatum 2009-08-27 10:43:54 UTC

I offten run emerge commands on multiple hosts simultaneously and once they get started its hard to tell which host is which so would be nice if it included the hostname in the title

I just found out that this feature exists in current version of emerge. You just need to define the HOSTNAME variable and it will be included at the beginning of the xterm title.

Yeah, something like this in ~/.bashrc should do it:

   export HOSTNAME
