Present working directory path display help RHEL5*
 

Hi All,

need to know, how we can display the whole (till current directory) path in below highlighted way. normally it shows only the name of current working directory after the server name.

(1) /abc/xyz/
[lion@test] $

Hi,

I dont think you can have that option. You can use the command this will display the full directory path.

If you are looking for the display along with the shell prompt, you need to add a variable called PS1 in the .profile or .bash_profile file of the user.

have a look at "http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/09/bash-shell-ps1-10-examples-to-make-your-linux-prompt-like-angelina-jolie/"

In the PS1 variable, substitute \W with \w (lowercase w) and it will display the full path of the current directory.
