What does your shell prompt look like?

mary · 10-17-2004, 08:29 PM

Quite simple...

Code:

mary@linux %                                              ~

I'm using zsh, and I have my mary@linux on the left and my present directory on the right.

james@poseidon ~ $

james@poseidon is in green
path and $ is in blue

For root
root@poseidon ~ #
root@poseidon in red
path and # is in blue

Code:

# Define some colors first:
red='\033[0;31m'
RED='\033[1;31m'
green='\033[0;32m'
GREEN='\033[1;32m'

purple='\033[0;35m'
PURPLE='\033[1;35m'
cyan='\033[0;36m'
CYAN='\033[1;36m'
white='\033[0;37m'
WHITE='\033[1;37m'
NC='\033[0m'  # No Color

bigrigdriver Mon Oct 18] $ /path/to/working/directory. Red if I su to root; blue otherwise.

I have this in /etc/bashrc;

# bash-specific settings
ROOT_UID=0
if [ "$UID" -eq "$ROOT_UID" ]
then
PS1="\[\033[31;1m\]\u \d] \\$\w\n \[\033[0m\]"
else
PS1="\[\033[34;1m\]\u \d] \\$\w\n \[\033[0m\]"

How do I get my prompt to show instead of ${PWD}, just the last 3 levels of the path ?

for regular user:

for root:

for regular users:

Try this:

Code:

PS1="Last 3: \`pwd|awk --field-separator='/' {'print \$(NF-2)\"/\"\$(NF-1)\"/\"\$(NF)'}\` # "

My home prompt is pretty complex:

Code:

\[\033[0;34m\][\[\033[0;35m\]\u\[\033[0;34m\]@\[\033[0;35m\]\h\[\033[0;34m\]]\[\033[1;37m\]:\[\033[0;31m\]\@\[\033[1;37m\]:\[\033[0;31m\]\d\n\[\033[0;34m\][\[\033[0;31m\]\w\[\033[0;34m\]]\[\033[1;37m\]::

Which looks something like this:
[ user@host ] :current time:current date
[ pwd ] ::

While my work prompt is very simple:

Code:

\u@\h:\w\$

Now it looks like :-
3: `pwd|awk --field-separator='/' {'print $(NF-2)/$(NF-1)/$(NF)'}` #

By the way this is not Linux it is HP tru 64
