Here's another option (from my .bashrc) that works with rxvt's (and
xterms?). It dynamically sets the title bar to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pwd so
you don't have to have it all on the prompt. If you're not using an
xterm/rxvt, it sets the prompt instead. It also does /home/username
-> ~ translation when appropriate.
if [ ${PS1:-UNSET} = UNSET ]
then
INTERACTIVE_SHELL=F
else
INTERACTIVE_SHELL=T
if [ "$TERM" = x"term" ]
then
set_titlebar () { echo -n "]2;$*"; }
export -f set_titlebar
my_dirname () {
if [ "${PWD#$HOME}" != "$PWD" ]
then
echo '~'${PWD#$HOME}
else
echo $PWD
fi
}
export -f my_dirname
export PS1='\n\!\$ '
export PROMPT_COMMAND='eval set_titlebar [EMAIL
PROTECTED]:`my_dirname`'
else
export PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\n\!\$ '
fi
fi
