You can then do things like:
tell application "Terminal" to do script "some file" in window FUN
Good idea, but unfortunately what I'm executing is a sequence of ssh
commands which eventually log in to machines which change the
window's name.
Most interesting. I do ssh's all over the place and I'd like to know
how to execute any command "over there" that can change the window
name.
This is how I create a new Terminal window, usually from a BBEdit
worksheet where those $items have been defined..
osascript << ENDSCRIPT >& /dev/null
tell application "Terminal"
do script ":" -- creates new window in front
set title displays shell path of front window to false
set title displays custom title of front window to true
set custom title of front window to "$wintitle"
do script "set prompt = '% '" in window "$wintitle"
set bounds of window "$wintitle" to $bounds
end tell
ENDSCRIPT
Is it possible that Terminal is resetting the title /name for you
without being told to do it from an external source?
Or maybe "title" is the property you should use rather than "name".
And . . . I'm stuck on OS 10.3.9 because I refuse to give up my SE/30
file server.
