Uhm... Ok...
BTW: What about replacing the standard /etc/ksh.kshrc with this version
(it's like the current once except that it sets a custom prompt which is
modeled after the default for SuSE Linux):
-- snip --
#
# ${HOME}/.kshrc is read for interactive ksh93 shells after
/etc/ksh.kshrc
#
set -o gmacs
#set -o multiline
# Set terminal title
function work_topic
{
typeset title="$1"
print -n "\E]0;${title}\\007\\c"
}
# define default prompt to <username>@<hostname>:<path><"($|#) ">
PS1='${logna...@$(hostname):$(
# 1. Define ellisis, either Unicode #2026 for unicode locales
# and "..." otherwise
# ([[ "${LC_ALL}/${LANG}" = ~(Elr)(.*UTF-8/.*|/.*UTF-8) ]]
# ensures that the pattern matches the leftmost sequence
# containing *.UTF-8, allowing to match either LC_ALL or
# LANG when LC_ALL is not set)
ellip="$(
[[ "${LC_ALL}/${LANG}" = ~(Elr)(.*UTF-8/.*|/.*UTF-8) ]] &&
printf "\u[2026]\n" || print "..." )"
# 2. If PWD is within HOME replace value of HOME with '~'
p="${PWD/~(El)${HOME}/\~}"
# If the PWD is longer than 20 charatcers shorten it to 20 chars
(( ${#p} > 20 )) &&
print -r -n "${ellip}${p:${#p}-20:20}" || print -r -n "$p"
# print '#' for user "root" and '$' for normal users
[[ "$LOGNAME" = "root" ]] && print -n "# " || print -n "\$ ")'
-- snip --
(/etc/ksh.kshrc is for interactive shell sessions only, e.g. this will
not break any ksh/ksh93 scripts)
BTW: Two more ideas:
1. new/src/bootcd_skel/etc/default_env.sh - what about adding
/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin: in front of /usr/bin/ to get the XPG6 tools
(POSIX conformant and all multibyte-aware) by default, e.g.
-- snip --
PATH=/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/opt/DTT/bin
export PATH
-- snip --
Note that the lookup order around /usr/bin/ must match the output of $
/usr/xpg6/bin/getconf CS_PATH #
2. What about setting the default locale to "en_US.UTF-8" (instead of
"C") to match the defaults for newer Linux distributions like SuSE >=
10.0 ?
