Can you rename a shell session by command in linux?

Question

I like to keep my shell sessions named with useful titles as I work, this helps me keep track of what I'm using each of the many tabs for.

Currently to rename a session I double click its name on the tabbed part of the console - is there any command that I can use to do this from within the shell? It would save me a bit of time.

thanks in advance

edit :- I am using KDE's Konsole shell.
