SSH colour

Override the ssh command so the terminal background colour changes with the host you connect to.

Install

Place ssh in ~/.bin/. Make it executable. Prepend ~/.bin/ to PATH.

chmod +x ssh

Wrapper

#!/bin/sh


HOSTNAME=`echo $@ | sed s/.*@//`


set_bg () {
  osascript -e "tell application \"Terminal\" to set background color of window 1 to $1"
}


on_exit () {
  set_bg "{25000, 0, 0, 50000}"
}
trap on_exit EXIT
