Hi !
This weekend I converted my laptop to OpenSolaris. I noticed that the
default user shell is bash and user home directory is populated with
~/.bashrc that defines prompt as
#
# Define default prompt to <username>@<hostname>:<path><"($|#) ">
# and print '#' for user "root" and '$' for normal users.
#
PS1='${logna...@$(/usr/bin/hostname):$(
[[ "${LOGNAME}" == "root" ]] && printf "%s" "${PWD/${HOME}/~}# " ||
printf "%s" "${PWD/${HOME}/~}\$ ")'
Is there any reason why it cannot be just
PS1="\...@\h:\w\$ "
?
haha - yep, one of the first things i change .. my guess is it that
it's left over from either an old bourne shell compatibility or
perhaps from the great ksh93 debate .. (of course this also is a bit
chatty if you boot into a miniroot since /usr/bin/hostname doesn't
exist) .. feel free to webrev patch it - particularly for bash if
you've got the inclination :)
