See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x264.html Now, to get the behavior where PROMPT_COMMAND shows up in the title of an xterm, it has to be changed a bit. In BLFS, it is: PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "[EMAIL PROTECTED] : ${PWD}\e[0m\a"' This does exactly as it says and echo's [EMAIL PROTECTED] : ${PWD} before $PS1. To put this in the title of a terminal, change to PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ${PWD}\007"' The \033]0; and \007 send the input to the title of the terminal. I don't know if this will cause problems on the linux console or not. I'm ssh'ing in through an xterm right now. Try changing that line in /etc/profile.d/extra-prompt.sh and moving it back to having just the extension .sh. Let me know if that works because it's been bugging me for a long time. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
