     Hi krish,

     This is actually really simple:

     1. While loop is simple, try following (prints date output on console every second):

     while sleep 1; do echo `date`; done;

     2. Use echo without the trailing newline and enable interpretation of backslash escapes:

     echo -ne "test"

     3. “\033]2;Title\007″ syntax is used to change title of existing aixterm window, try following:

     echo -ne "\033]2;This is my own title\007" &

     Finally all together outputs date and time to your terminal title. :)
