Hi,
Originally my .bash_profile came with:
# # set prompt: ``username@hostname$ ''
PS1="`whoami`@`hostname | sed 's/\..*//'`"
case `id -u` in
0) PS1="${PS1} # ";;
*) PS1="${PS1} $ ";;
esac
In order to put the current working directory in PS1, I changed the
above lines to:
# # set prompt: ``username@hostname$ ''
PS1="`whoami`@`hostname | sed 's/\..*//'`"
case `id -u` in
0) PS1="${PS1} ${PWD}# ";;
*) PS1="${PS1} ${PWD}$ ";;
esac
But the result is a permanent $HOME in PS1, even if I cd to anywhere
else.
What should I do in order to get a prompt like:
jose@thor /usr/local$ cd bin
jose@thor /usr/local/bin$
Thanks in advance.
Jose Monteiro
