Running a tcsh in Console2

If you use tcsh in cygwin and want to run it in Console2, you can create a .BAT file to do something like this:

   @echo off
   set HOME=c:\
   start <path to Console2>\Console.exe -r       \
       "/k <path to cygwin>\cygwin\bin\tcsh.exe -l"

How to Set Console Title in Cygwin or LXTerminal

To set the title of the console in cygwin:

   echo -e "\033]2;!^\007"

This can be set up as an alias (say, as "t"):

   alias t 'echo -e "\033]2;\!^\007"'

(Taken from a comment in this post).

Update: To do the same thing in LXTerminal (used in lxde):

    echo -ne "\033]0;"WindowTitle"\007"

(Taken from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=448614).

Or as a function in .bashrc (since bash aliases don't take parameters):

t() {
  echo -ne "\033]0;$*\007"
}
