For example, if you're connected to sourceforge.net, your terminal could be in green, whereas if you connect to your mac.com address, as in a previous hint, it'd be amber. Whenever you do an su, it could be red to keep you alert. You'll want to do the following:
- Download the colorssh scripts [4K download]
- In the terminal, type:
% mkdir ~/scripts
% cd ~/scripts
% tar -xzvf colorssh_2003-02-10.tgz - Append the stuff from ~/scripts/colorssh/aliases.mine to your tcsh configuration (revise accordingly for bash)
- Edit ~/scripts/colorssh/servercolors.sh to suit your taste (pretty self-explanatory, i think)
% ssh someserver.blah.com[Editor's note: I haven't had a chance to try this one out yet, but I will as I often find myself forgetting which remote window is which!]
% su
% etc...
