post your custom command prompts thread.

couldnt find thread like this, so i decided to post one here.
post your pretty colored or not command prompts.

mine is for ksh on openbsd 6.1 amd64

export PS1="\033[32m\u@\h\033[00m:\033[36m$\w\033[00m# "

and it looks like this :

I pretty much use the default these days.

Your post reminded about a time I did change the prompt on DOS. A coworker and I were talking about our relative computer skills and he said there was nothing I could do that he couldn't. When he left work I changed his DOS prompt to:
Barry can't find me>

I did that by creating a bat file named c1s.bat then adding c1s to his autoexec.bat. In those days almost all autoexec.bat files had "cls" in them. (Note the middle character in the bat I created was numeral "1" where as the clear screen command's middle character is letter "l".)

The next day he came into work and tried multiple things to get rid of this prompt all to no avail. I finally stopped him and told him what I'd done when he got to the point of reinstalling the OS.

i actually did create dos command prompt on my fathers 286, (i was 10+ years old then) your post reminded me about that

i like fiddling with things like command prompts etc.

In ~/.profile (for login shells)

PS1="\u@\h:\w $ "

Gives e.g.

user@hostname:/usr/src $

I've had this in my /etc/bash.bashrc for a long while now:

	if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]] ; then
		color=1 # red
	else
		color=2 # green
	fi
	if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ]; then
		PS1="\[$(tput setaf $color)\]\[$(tput rev)\]  \[$(tput sgr0)\]\[$(tput setaf 5)\]\${?#0}\[$(tput setaf $color)\] \u@\h \w\[$(tput sgr0)\]\n\[$(tput rev)\]  \[$(tput sgr0)\] "
	else
		# adding \t = time to tty prompt
		PS1="\[$(tput setaf $color)\]\[$(tput rev)\]  \[$(tput sgr0)\]\[$(tput setaf 5)\]\${?#0}\[$(tput setaf $color)\] \t \u@\h \w\[$(tput sgr0)\]\n\[$(tput rev)\]  \[$(tput sgr0)\] "
	fi
	unset color

thats vnice looking, clean compared to mine :

export PS1="\[\033[1;34m\][\$(date +%H:%M)][\[\033[1;31m\]\u\[\033[1;32m\]@\h:\[\033[1;34m\]\w]#\[\033[0m\] "

i forgot to mention a neat feature:
it also shows the return value of the last command, if it's larger than 0:

DragonFly BSD 5.0.2

~/.cshrc (tcsh prompt)

set prompt = "%N@%m:%~ %# "

The result is much the same as my OpenBSD 6.2 ksh prompt (posted above))

user@hostname:~ %

No fancy colours though...
