All, I was wondering if there was a way to make an environmental variable be evaluated each time it was accessed. In other words, with:
export PS1="`whoami`@`hostname`" This works for the first time that the prompt is evaluated, what I would like to have is a prompt to be continuously evaluated, so that if whoami or hostname changes, the prompt changes along with it. Is there a way to have the prompt - or any other environmental variable - change in this way, based off external command? Thanks much, Ed
