precmnd in bash?

2000-08-04 Thread Brian Stults
Is there a function in bash that is similar to tcsh's precmnd? 
Something that will allow you to run a command before each prompt is
printed?  Thanks.

I'll answer my own question in case it's of interest to anyone (and from
now on I'll always search for 5 additional minutes before posting to the
group).  There is a variable called PROMPT_COMMAND that will do it. 
Also, it's precmd in tcsh, not precmnd.  I hope I can handle my own
constructive criticism.  If not, I'll send myself a private rebuttle,
and save the rest of the group from such unpleasantries.

It is not an unpleasentry at all - please feel free to post yourself.
I for one would be very interested in reading your inner dialogues.
Also, I can't see how a soliloquy now and then violates the policy of this
list.
  Thanks
