Korn Shell PS1
 

Hi,

I would like my prompt to have my PWD but with the commands entered on a new line so...

/userhome/someuser
$ ls

the PWD i have got working but can only get

/userhome/someuser $

Is it possible to have a newline command in the PS1 variable?

Thanks

In your .bashrc, simply insert
PS1='\w \n \$ '

/edit > I now see you were referring to ksh. The BASH newline is \n - I am not sure how it goes in Korn.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply however I'm using ksh which doesn't except bash ps1 commands.

If I use the i get w n $ in the command line...

Thanks
