[mod_edit]yeah, i have some sort of problem[/mod_edit]

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure you have to write some shell scripts to get all of this done.

I know you can change the bash shells prompt by setting PS1='lastname>'. No clue how or where to retrieve the last name really (I think users real names are stored in different places/ways on different distributions). If you have your own DB setup with usernames and corresponding last names it should be easier.

As for expanding linux commands, you can do this by moving your executables to the bin directory. To find out the bin dirs use 'echo $PATH'.

I'm sure someone else should be able to shed some light.


Hope this post helps anyway,

Here's a Slackware page that has nice info on bash shell that you should read to get you going:
http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/sdeg/bash_startup.htm

Basicly just modify PS1 and PATH variables and setup the bash scripts to run the necessary commands to get your results.

And to me this looks like homework ....

Not you Tink. Nerf here seems a bit disturbed.
