You can define your $PS1 variable in root's .bashrc file like this:
export PS1="\[\e[31;1m\]\u# \[\e[0m\]"
This line surns your text red(\[\e[31;1m\]) prints the prompt (\u$ )
then turns the text coloring off (\[\e[0m\])
Other colors are likewise available using the
following codes:
RED "\e[0;31m]"
YELLOW "\e[0;33m]"
PURPLE "\e[0;35m]"
WHITE "\e[0;37m]"
BLUE "\e[0;34m]"
BLACK "\e[0;30m]"
CYAN "\e[0;36m]"
BOLD "\e[1;1m]"
BLINK "\e[5m]"
INVERT "\e[7m]"
UNDRLN "\e[4m]"
OFF "\e[0;0m]"
Almost certainly there are other ways to do this, but this is the
one that I know. Perhaps others will share their methods.
Thanks a lot !
I'm considering adding this stuff to "Lessons for Lizards".
Is there any extra info on that?
Why two numbers for colors ? What do they mean ?
What the "m" mean on the color table?
