title bar in windows 98 Cygwin

title bar in windows 98 Cygwin

[Halim, Salman]

hi,

another hopefully simple scenario:  the title bar in my bash window on
windows 98 keeps changing to reflect the currently running process.  if i
set up my PS1 variable to contain the results of a few commands (such as
date) it does it every time i press enter.  i'm not sure, but i think this
might be affecting the performance somewhat -- i say this because i have the
same prompt on windows nt where it DOESN'T do that to the title bar and
things proceed more quickly (the windows 98 box is more powerful!).

finally, the question:  is there any way to disable the title bar from
changing?

thank you all again for your help!

   women around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Nope, you're wrong - it's system itself who set titlebar.

    Yes, setting it manually to the same value everytime. But *that*
will affect performance - you'll lose some microseconds, I guess.

    What I wrote true at least for win9x.

Hmmm, the "notitle" option doesn't work for me on '98. I have it set, but the
title bar changes anyway. When I asked the same question a few months ago, I
was told by someone on the cygwin development team (I'm sorry, I don't recall
who) that it was not possible to stop this behavior in Win98. I haven't paid
much attention to it since, although it's still set.

[DOS PROMPT] SET CYGWIN=... notitle ...
  the ... indicates other options that may already be set.  See the FAQ for
other options.

If you're using the cygwin.bat file then you can modify that file.
