If you don't want to abbreviate your typing with "SH SYS/F", follow this: In your SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM, add this line: $ IF F$TYPE(PS).EQS."" THEN PS :== $SYS$LOGIN:PS.COM The "IF" will only define it if it hasn't already been defined. Then, from the command line, "CREATE SYS$LOGIN:PS.COM", and paste this in your terminal window: $! ps.com $! $! Quickie for Unixy-types. $! $ ON WARNING THEN EXIT $ ON CONTROL_Y THEN EXIT $! $ args = F$EDIT(p1,"UPPER,COLLAPSE") $ parm = "" $ IF args.eqs."-EFL" THEN parm = "/FULL" $ SHOW SYSTEM'parm' $! $ EXIT ...then hit to save it. No need to worry about an execution security bit on VMS for command procs. If your LOGIN.COM is fully re-entrant (most aren't), you can simply @SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM to get your "ps" command, just like ". ~/.profile" for Korn. Your best bet is to logout and back in. Likewise, you can add the following quickies to your LOGIN.COM: $ cat :== type $ cd :== set default $ grep :== search $ up :== set default [-] $ ls :== directory $ ll :== directory/size=all/date=modified/columns=10/width=(file=38,size=7) Please only use these interactively. If your LOGIN.COM separates out modes of operation (e.g. "IF F$MODE().EQS."INTERACTIVE"), put these symbol refinitions in the INTERACTIVE area and not in BATCH or NETWORK. If you'd like more help with your VMS environment, give me a holler directly and we'll get you some help.

They have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, mainly becuase VMS doesn't really have the same notion of "working directory" that *NIX does. set def can accept a partial path (e.g., 'dka0:', '[sys.foobar]', or 'dka0:[sys.foobar].exe'). It takes whatever you give it as a default for commands which require a filename and uses them as the default portion of the name if one is not given (e.g., "del myfile" would take the device, dir & extension from the default). You can be working on dka100: and perform a set def dka0: without effecting the O/S treatment of dka0: -- the items given to set def needn't even exist since they are not used until the next time a path is given without that portion (e.g., you can put in a bogus device w/ valid directory and not know it until you forget to type the device). cd actually changes the O/S' view of your process and the destination path you give it. Performing a cd across file systems, for example, will leave the new one unable to umount; on VMS it wouldn't effect anything. You also cannot cd to a nonexistant directory. The two commands feel the same syntatically because you normally use relative paths after performing them; but the O/S' treatments are entirely different. enjoi. -- Steven Lembark 2930 W.

That would be because in your example, PS1 is only being affected when you
actually do a 'cd'
In my case, (and I think that of the original poster), PS1 is being
specified in the main body of my bash/ksh rc file, in which case it is
evaluated every time you do any/every command.
Your example is certainly more efficient, in that your the PATH
information
is only updated when your current directory is likely to have changed, but
I
actually echo every command's $? onto my prompt. i.e my prompt looks like:
RC(1) azimuth:.../last_2/path_components$
Actually, I had to create a function to do this, so that $? was properly
returned.
function _cd {
typeset saverc=$?
typeset _path=`echo $PWD | sed
'/\/.*\/.*\//{s%.*/\(.*/.*\)%.../\1%;}' `
echo "RC($saverc) $HOST:$_path\$ "
return $saverc
}
PS1='`_cd`'
Otherwise if you are simply setting PS1 with backticks in the main() of
your
rc file, then your $? is hosed.
At least as far as I've experienced
Thanks
David

Hi!
In my .profile of the oracle user (we're mostly using ksh here), I have set
up the prompt that it gives me the host name and database SID.
# always displays host name and Oracle SID as prompt
PS1="`hostname`;`echo $ORACLE_SID`$ "
How can I extend this prompt to also include the current directory that I'm
in?
e.g. prod1;PCLDB1; u010/app/oracle/admin/PCLDB1

As an example, when I am in my $ORACLE_HOME, my
prompt ends up looking something like:
product/8.1.7 [09:54:42 AM] 181$
where 181 is the current command history
number.

Subject: Unix question: how to display
SID and path in prompt
Hi!
In my .profile of the oracle user (we're mostly using ksh
here), I have set up the prompt that it gives me the host name and database
SID.
# always displays host name and Oracle SID as prompt
PS1="`hostname`;`echo $ORACLE_SID`$ "
How can I extend this prompt to also include the current
directory that I'm in?
e.g. prod1;PCLDB1; u010/app/oracle/admin/PCLDB1
Thanks, Helmut

Re: Unix question: how to display SID and path in prompt
Title: Unix question: how to display SID and path in prompt
Put $PWD in there somewhere. I use
${PWD#${PWD%%*([!/])/*([!/])}} to display the last two directory levels, so my
prompt never gets TOO long.
The substring extraction of $PWD is ksh
specific. You could do it other ways, but this way it uses ksh builtins, so it
is _fast_
As an example, when I am in my $ORACLE_HOME, my
prompt ends up looking something like:
product/8.1.7 [09:54:42 AM] 181$
where 181 is the current command history
number.

Back-ticks can be a pain to track, the $() notation in
ksh makes things a bit less error prone. Also, no need
to echo a variable via shell execution if it is available
in the current proc:
PS1="$(hostname):$ORACLE_SID:\$PWD \$ ";
will give you the full path or
PS1="$(hostname:$ORACLE_SID:./\${PWD##*/} \$ ";
will give you the relative path (i.e., $PWD stripped of
any text leading to a '/').
This is equivalent to bash's:
PS1='\h:$ORACLE_SID:\W \$ ';
