How update title bar on terminator?

Question

I have installed Terminator in my linux Mint on xfce. When I open it, the title bar is correct:

but, when I log into a remote server via ssh, the title bar doesn't update:

How can I fix the title?

Please note that I work with over 1k servers and it's not doable modifying anything server-side.

Answer 1

If you are using bash, add to $HOME/.bashrc of your server the next line:

export PROMPT_COMMAND="printf \"\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007\" \"${USER}\" \"${HOSTNAME%%.*}\" \"${PWD/#$HOME/~}\""

Answer 2

You could do this with a client-side script that sets the title of the target and does the ssh, e.g.,

#!/bin/sh
printf '\033]0;%s\007' "$*"
ssh "$@"
printf '\033]0;%s\007' "(local machine)"
