Well, PROMPT_COMMAND does take shell syntax, so if this is just a question of getting multiple commands in there, you can separate them with semicolons.
That said, I do think using an array would be nicer (mainly, it's easier to manipulate the list of commands programmatically) but then you can't export the variable any more, for instance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Colascione" <dan...@google.com> To:<bug-bash@gnu.org> Cc: Sent:Tue, 23 Jan 2018 10:23:38 -0800 Subject:Feature request: PROMPT_COMMANDS array variable Right now, PROMPT_COMMAND gives a shell command to run before displaying the prompt. It's common these days to include in one's bash configuration numerous packages from different sources that *all* want to run code at PROMPT_COMMAND time. Can we add a new PROMPT_COMMANDS array variable that stores a list of shell commands to execute? With a PROMPT_COMMANDS variable, different packages can independently add their hooks without stepping on each other.
