colored iterms by box sshed into

something.md

so here is my setup, I have a ~/.ssh/config file with this in it

Host staging
  HostName staging.bondstreet.com
  User ubuntu

Host prod
  HostName bondstreet.com
  User ubuntu

That way I can ssh by alias (ssh prod / ssh staging / ssh dev) and not use vagrant for ssh.

Then I add this to my .bash_profile

    $HOME/themedssh.sh $*
}

alias ssh="themedssh"

and themessh.sh in $HOME is

function tabc() {
    NAME=$1; if [ -z "$NAME" ]; then NAME="Default"; fi
    echo -ne "\033]50;SetProfile=$NAME\a"
}

function tabreset() {
    NAME="Default"
    echo -ne "\033]50;SetProfile=$NAME\a"
}

trap tabreset INT EXIT

if [[ "$1" = "prod" ]]; then
    tabc Prod
elif [[ "$1" = "staging" ]]; then
    tabc Staging
else
    tabc
fi

ssh $*

It selects an iterm2 profile based on the alias name ssh staging so those are necessary.
