change title bar in putty programmatically

here's some code for a shell script that will change the title bar text in putty (or other terminal/ssh apps):

 

title_bar.sh

params=$*

echo "\033]0;$params\007"

 

then call the shell script with whatever you want in the title bar:  ./title-bar.sh hello my friends     "hello my friends" will appear in putty's title bar.
