Hello,
I have a suggestion, what if I make the shell prompt a little bit
pretty?
My shell prompt is like this (colorful):
Today is Fri Jan 12 at 01:14:20. Computer is serving
piranha@securefirewall.
[~]$
with /etc/bashrc lines:
PS1="\n\[\033[1;34m\]Today is \[\033[1;33m\]\d \[\033[1;34m\]at
\[\033[1;33m\\t. \[\033[1;34m\]Computer is serving
\[\033[01;37m\]\u@\h\\[\033[0m\].\
\[\033[01;36m\]\n[\w]\\$ \[\033[0m\]"
I attached /etc/bashrc in the attachment (since Netscape will likely
break the line if it's more than 70 characters per line). Let me know if
it's useful or not.
Thank you,
Prana
