[-- Attachment #1 --] I have got a dialemma.Actually i am stupid not just to do it the traditional way but i guess i have my reasons. It goes like this...... I have root setup to use csh shell. So everytime I login via root i get a csh prompt. I want to leave it at this because bash is a addon when you install to bsd and Incase my box get screwed up and the shell is not there i get locked out of root.Now I want to create a little script that calls up bash for root.For instance I want to login as root and type in "b"(b will be a file calling up bash and *here is the problem* it must run PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "). Now bash is a programm in it's own that when i execute it, it will open a shell in a shell,so then the file contaning PS1=blah will not run because there is a new shell being opend and the rest of the file is not being executed. Now how do i get PS1=blah to export to the terminal? I tried to create a .bash_profile and added the PS1=blah into it and it does not work. So what I am looking for is for bash to reinhibit the enviroment once I execute the shell in another shell. This must also work on a per user level not global. HOW??
