It may be useful to write a small program to print an argument to the title using the xterm escapes. Some examples are provided below.

7.1 C

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
  printf("%c]0;%s%c", '\033', argv[1], '\007');
  return(0);
}

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "\033]0;@ARGV\007";
