I have been using PuTTY for over 20 years, but now have a small problem

I an running OpenVMS in KVM, on Ubuntu, and can currently only access
the machine console using the virsh console from a local bash session.

The linux version of PuTTY does not allow access to the change settings
like the Windows version, so it just shows the KVM hostname. I would
like to change his using a scripts, but am unsure of the escape
sequences needed to change the window

I cannot find anything i the docs, or FAQ

Does anyone have any idea what I need to send?

Thanks

It should - you can Ctrl + right-click the window and get a PuTTY
context menu including 'Change Settings'.

Try sending ESC [ 2 ; your-title-here ESC \

Never knew that! Much more convenient
Is there any documentation specific to the *nix version of PuTTY?

That seems to do the trick - many thanks
