Oh, oh, I know this one! pick me! I ran across a link to this awhile ago and have used a cyan colored prompt with the time and working directory for a few months now. The link to the specific section of the bash prompt HOW-TO is: http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x343.html This explains the codes for each color to put in your bashrc. This is what I use: PS1="\[\033[0;36m\][\u time: \t \w]\\$\[\033[0m\] " This gives me a prompt like: [mark time: 11:12:30 ~] $ I hope this helps. --Mark
