Alex -
If you're using /usr/bin/ksh as your shell, you read the .profile
(.dtprofile on an XDMCP login) in the user's home file. The shell variable
is PS1. Here's a snippet from my .profile on an HP-UX box:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
###################################
# Set up the cursor
###################################
export USER=`logname`
export HOST=`hostname`
export PS1='$HOST:$USER $PWD>>'
The prompt looks like this:
qe2l1:dbarbour /home/oracle>>cd /etc
qe2l1:dbarbour /etc>>
You can add variables such as $ORACLE_SID or whatever else you want to see.
The tics around the commands logname and hostname are the backwards single
quote off the tilde key (I have no idea what they're called - except
backwards single quotes), they indicate the shell should execute the
command. PWD is a standard shell variable in ksh.
Hope this helps.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Anybody knows how to show current working directory and in general shell
variable in Korn shell that prompt change when variable changes - for
current working directory and ORACLE_SID for example. I know how to do it
in
bash but cannot do it right in Korn.
