The prompt is specified by the PS1 variable. This in turn is typically set in the .bashrc.

You presumably want something like this

Code:

PS1='[\u@\h:\w]# '

Hi joe this code does worked but when i reboot the system,its came back($ sign) the way it was. Do you know where i can edit it and keep this sign permanent?

You can put this code in /root/.bashrc file or /root/.bash_profile file to make it permanent.
