How do I get gnometerm to display the machine I'm connected to?

SuSE 9.3, Blackbox WM, Gnometerm 2.10.0

I use GnomeTerm to connect to 20 different servers in a day's work. Some of these servers will display the server name and pwd in the tab:
dthacker@fooserver:/usr/local/foo

Others will not:
dthacker@dthacker~

I think this is an interactions between Gnometerm and bash on the system I'm connecting too. Does anyone know what variable I need to set to get all the tabs to display the hostname in all the tabs?

TIA
Dave

This is a matter of playing with the PS1 variable on each of the machines. Using your first example, you would add/modify the following to each machines ~/.bashrc file:

Code:

# user@host:pwd$

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

Once done, you can activate it with either of the following commands:

Code:

source .bashrc

# or

. .bashrc

If you use the screen command alot, you might also enjoy \l, which displays your tty. For more info, do a search on bash prompt configuration.

I've set my PS1 like this on the target machine:

Code:

export PS1="[\u@\h]: \w\n$?> "

, but this is not getting picked up by gnometerm. Any other ideas?

TIA Dave
