Sometimes I'm using a lot of terminals for server communication, and what boders me is that sometimes I'm lost, so I want to organize my terminal windows by name or tag or something that will make a difference betwen terminal A and terminal B.

Now I have something like this:

Any suggestion?

  • Are the server names always the same then? Like its 6 connections and 6 terminals all to the same location? –  Jun 04 '16 at 13:53

  • Server names (hostname) are different, but if I run for example htop, then I can not see hostname. – mirsad Jun 04 '16 at 14:02

First I've tried with this, but it's not anymore supported:

gnome-terminal --title="SOME TITLE HERE"

Option "--title" is no longer supported in this version of gnome-terminal.

So I've solved with this: echo -ne '\033]0;New title\007'

    You can also look up how to change the title depending on which directory or application it's currently running. This would be – earthmeLon Jun 05 '16 at 20:45

You could use terminator. It does support names for terminal windows. You can install terminator by using sudo apt-get install teminator
