Hello All-
I recently installed Developer Preview 2, and was pleasantly surprised when a
bash shell greeted me by default. I was wondering, however, if we may change
the default prompt to be something a bit more useful than just "bash3.2$". One
of the first things I do when deploying a copy of Solaris is to hack the
/etc/profile file to make my prompt a bit more useful, containing my present
working directory and the hostname. This is the default in a lot of Linux
distributions, and if the point is to bridge the gap, I think this would be a
good starting point. I'm including my settings i use in /etc/profile as a
starting point, if anybody is interested.
The settings below would make a prompt look like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp#
My apologies if this has already been hashed out before in this group. I don't
recall having seen any discussions on this topic previously.
And, I hope I'm not stepping on anybody's toes or starting a religious
flamewar. I know different folks like different prompts. I couldn't care less
if you don't like mine--however I do think we should make an effort to make the
prompt at least a little more informative than what is currently is.
Cheers-
John Tracy
