I cannot install any tools like screen or xproc on the box. I dont need to modify the title, I only need to find the window title name.



echo -e "33]0;[title]7"; modifies the title I know. But I just want to know the existing title name.

  • printf 'e[21t' should cause your terminal to return its title in the form e]titlee\ . I'll try to wrap that in a script if they don't delete your question until then.
