set tab title with ssh host

[Phil Cruz]

I'm connecting to an EC2 instance with ssh. I connect lik:

ssh ubu...@mydomain.com

but the tab title shows "ubuntu@ip-123-44-57-111" which is the private IP of the server. If I'm connected to different servers I can't easily tell by the IP. I went onto the server and modified .bashrc so the prompt shows "ubu...@mydomain.com" yet the iTerm tab title still shows the IP. 

How can I get the tab title to show the domain name and not the IP?

Thanks,

Phil

I should mention that I also use oh-my-zsh. Not sure how that plays into this.

Most likely the title's being set by a control sequence.

I would recommend writing a trigger that detects the hostname and sets the hostname:

You'll need to come up with the right regex, of course.

Once you've done that, you can turn off the ability to set titles by control sequence and add the hostname to the tab title:
