Set screen-title from shellscript

Question

Is it possible to set the Screen Title using a shell script?

I thought about something like sending the key commands ctrl+A shift-

Answer 1

You can also call screen and tell it to set a title:

screen -X title "new title"

If you're in a screen window, it will set that window's name. If you're not in screen, it will set the most recently opened window's name.
