Rename a Yakuake Session from the Command Line

Yakuake provides a hotkey and GUI method for renaming tabs / command line sessions.

I would like to do the same through the command line, so I can script and use it in an alias. (My goal is that if I use an alias that runs SSH on some server, then the tab is renamed according to that server name ...)

I tried the suggestions given here Renaming the Konsole session from the command line after ssh is still out of luck.

With KDE4, it should be used qdbusto manage KDE applications (instead of legacy and remote DCOPs). For example, to change the title of the first session, you can use:

qdbus org.kde.yakuake /Sessions/1 org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle 1 "New title"

You can use to explore the available interfaces, methods, and properties qdbusviewer.

As a homework, try to get a list of active sessions (before you are going to change smth.).
