Since you're providing enlightenment ... I ran into a problem when I
tried to modify your script for my own preferences. Specifically, when
I tried to change the value of PS1 to give a colorized prompt. The
string I began with was
PS1="\\[\\e[1;31m\\]\h:\\[\\e[0m\\]\\[\\e[1;34m\\]\\w\\[\\e[0m\\] $ "
This string works find in a "straight" .bashrc. However, when I use it
in your file, it works fine on a login shell. When I start a subshell,
though, I get
[: too many arguments
Thinking I must be doing something terribly stupid, I poked and
prodded that string every way I could think of, but the same result
persisted.
