Re: Minor patch to /etc/profile

The PS1 definition for ksh in /etc/profile uses the literal ascii
characters '^[' for the escape sequence as opposed to the single byte
escape control code. The attached patch corrects that as well as
HOSTNAME not being set correctly (at least for mksh).
the right way to go would be something like :
the current way :
PS1=$(print '\033]0;${pwd}\n\033[32m${us...@${hostname}
\033[33m${PWD}\033[0m\n$ ')
w/ tilde expansion as bash does :
TILDE=\~
PS1=$(print
'\033]0;${TILDE[(1-0${PWD%%@([!/]*|${HOME}*)}1)]:-}${pwd#${home}}\n\033[32m${us...@${hostname}
\033[33m${TILDE[(1-0${PWD%%@([!/]*|${HOME}*)}1)]:-}${PWD#${HOME}}\033[0m\n$
')
so, you can still print the file w/o side effects

Re: Minor patch to /etc/profile
Hi Chris, I'm anticipating to have several hours to do these (and other) changes in the next week or so. Regards, John.

Minor patch to /etc/profile
The PS1 definition for ksh in /etc/profile uses the literal ascii characters '^[' for the escape sequence as opposed to the single byte escape control code. The attached patch corrects that as well as HOSTNAME not being set correctly (at least for mksh). Finally, would it be appropriate to extend the 'ksh' case to catch both pdksh as well as mksh? Basically the case would be: *ksh* | -*ksh* | */*ksh* | \ *ksh*.exe | -*ksh*.exe | */*ksh*.exe ) Chris -- Chris Sutcliffe http://emergedesktop.org http://www.google.com/profiles/ir0nh34d profile.diff Description: Binary data -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
