Message-Id: <20020104135308.2005c72f.johann@broadpark.no> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.6.5 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386--freebsd4.4) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is my current tcsh prompt: set prompt = "<%B$user%b@%B%m%b> [%/] [%B%T%b] \n# " looking: [/home/johann] [13:47] # Are there any "goodies" I am missing that would be useful in the first line of my prompt? I'm uncertain on what letter calls the tty to be displayed, and I'm sure there's a lot more out there. I used to include another linebreak in << set prompt = "\n<%B >> [...], kinda giving my two-line prompt a little break and relaxing so it doesn't get too close to the previous output. It seems, however, so unreal to have it that way, violating the extra echo i have in .login after fortune -s, making two line-spaces upon login and just.. yeah, doing unfitting things. I'd really appreciate some nice, professional way of layouting my prompt so that my system can have a beautiful image. :-) Thanks.
