Re: Hostname in shell (bash)?

[Robert Storey]

I personally like the following one (because no matter where you are, it
will show you the working directory as well as who is logged in). Put
this into .bashrc...

  PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w> "
  export PS1

regards,
Robert

Try:

PS1=`id [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s`"$ "

I put that into the .bashrc file.

I have this in my .bashrc and .bash_profile files (\h is hostname):

# set prompt
PS1="===[\h][\u] \w # "
PS2=">"

Hostname in shell (bash)?

[Steven N. Fettig]

Hi all,

I searched the archives and documents on bash, but I can't figure out 
how to put the hostname of the workstation I am on before the $ of the 
shell/command line.  Does anyone know how to add the hostname 
(preferably the first part - i.e. www, db1, etc) to the command line for 
bash 2.x?

Thanks,
Steve
