Change konsole session name
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This little script on your ~/.bashrc will change the konsole session name on the fly. Also will put the remote host name if you connect it with ssh wraper kssh.
This can serve you to make more interesting things.
The screenshot is the original 5 minutes script.

Could it be possible to get only the last 3 directories instead of the whole path (from $HOME) ?

I have a rather deep directory structure here and using your script would sometimes rename my konsole session to e.g. "~/Desktop/Development/Debian/Packages/somepackage-1.2.3/debian" which is a little bit too long to be really useful (the tabs become really wide)...
Using only the last 2 or 3 components the session would be renamed to "Packages/somepackage-1.2.3/debian" or "somepackage-1.2.3/debian". Still rather long but better than the aforementioned name ;-)
One usually knwos where approximately one is in one's own dir structure, so one only needs a short reminder which session is where. The complete path is uneccessary IMO...

Try this in the .bashrc (mostly the same):
# Look if the parent is konsole
dcop konsole-$PPID &> /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
#OK we are on konsole
PROMPT_COMMAND=touch_konsole
export INKONSOLE=$PPID
else
export INKONSOLE=0
fi#!/bin/sh
# Look if the parent is konsole
echo $INKONSOLE
if [ $INKONSOLE -gt 0 ]; then
#OK we are on konsole
CURRENT_SESSION=`dcop konsole-$INKONSOLE konsole currentSession`
dcop konsole-$INKONSOLE $CURRENT_SESSION renameSession "$1"
fi
/usr/bin/ssh -X $1 # the -X is optional
alias ssh="~/bin/ssh"
Create a script in ~/bin/ called ssh which contains:
#!/bin/sh
# Look if the parent is konsole
echo $INKONSOLE
if [ $INKONSOLE -gt 0 ]; then
#OK we are on konsole
CURRENT_SESSION=`dcop konsole-$INKONSOLE konsole currentSession`
dcop konsole-$INKONSOLE $CURRENT_SESSION renameSession "$1"
fi
/usr/bin/ssh -X $1
