Under bash, I have a function defined like so: function ss () { screen -t $1 ssh $* } Then, I simply type: ss hostname If I need to pass any options, then I simply stick it on the end, and the resulting screen window is named the hostname. If you do not want the fqdn, then use the .ssh/config file to set up aliases using the Host/Hostname.
