I've come up with a much better, simpler recipe to color my OSX Terminal session depending on the host I'm ssh-ing into. First, take a function with some cool BASH-only splitting and arrays and add that I found a way to address the current session in Applescript. Then add a one line way to enable bash ssh auto-complete when using the function. E…

ash.bash

ash() {
    ARGS="$@"
    IFS=" "
    set -- $ARGS 
    ARGSARRAY=( $@ )
    HOST=${ARGSARRAY[0]}
    IFS="-"
    set -- ${HOST}
    MYARRAY=( $@ )
    SERVERTYPE=${MYARRAY[0]}
    ENVNAME=${MYARRAY[1]}
    if [ "${ENVNAME}" = "pro" ]; then
        if [ "${serverType}" = "p19" ]; then
            PROFILE="Basic Green"
        else
            PROFILE="Basic Black"
        fi
    elif [ "${ENVNAME}" = "qa" ]; then
       PROFILE="Basic Grey"
    elif [ "${ENVNAME}" = "stage" ]; then
        PROFILE="Man Page"
    elif [ "${ENVNAME}" = "shadow" ]; then
        PROFILE="Basic Blue"
    else
        PROFILE="Basic"
    fi 
    echo "tell app \"Terminal\" to set current settings of first window to settings set \"${PROFILE}\"" | osascript
    ssh "${ARGS}" 

    echo "tell app \"Terminal\" to set current settings of first window to settings set \"Basic\"" | osascript 
}
