How to display the hostname name in screen when you ssh into remote system?
put this in .bashrc
or .bash_profile
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033k$HOSTNAME\033\\"'
Does the "hostname" command work?
I suspect your solution will be terminal program specific. What is your terminal client? Take a look at http://kpumuk.info/mac-os-x/how-to-show-ssh-host-name-on-the-iterms-background/ .
