mate-terminal: trigger profile on command

When I start an ssh session I want some constant on screen signal, such as a color change, that reminds me that this session is not local. I keep a lot of terminals open and I too often don't notice what host a session is running on.

It's easy, because ssh sets some enviroment variables. I logged in via ssh local host:
walt@bat:~(0)$ env | grep SSH
SSH_CLIENT=127.0.0.1 52602 22
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/5
SSH_CONNECTION=127.0.0.1 52602 127.0.0.1 22
Then, in your ~/.bashrc on the target, you can:
if [[ ! -z "$SSH_CLIENT" ]] ; then
# change terminal colors 30=black text, 41=red background
echo '^[[30;41m'
fi
If you must do it on the source system,
alias redssh="echo '^[[30;41m';ssh"
The clear command will reset the colors.
See http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm#colors for more color choices.

This is great. Except how do I reset the mate-terminal profile? I putmate-terminal --profile alternateunder your condition and boy oh boy was that the wrong thing to do!

It meant that every time .bashrc was processed it opened a new mate-terminal session which processed .bashrc which opened a new mate-terminal session which eventually locked the system. I had to reboot and open a virtual console to edit the bashrc.
