I use bash.
On ANSI terminals with the correct codepage (basically the console):
PS1="\[\e[0;36m\]ÚÄ(\$?)Ä(\u@\h on $(tty|cut -d/ -f3))Ä(\$(date +'%H:%M %d-%m-%Y'))ÄÄ\[\e[1;30m\]Ä\[\e[0m\]\n\[\e[0;36m\]ÀÄ(\w)ÄÄ\[\e[1;30m\]Ä\[\e[0m\]"
PS2="\[\e[0;36m\e[1A\]Ã\[\e[1D\e[1B\]ÀÄÄ\[\e[1;30m\]Ä\[\e[0m\]"
Looking like (it uses box-drawing characters and colors):
ÚÄ(i0)Ä(root@localhost on tty7)Ä(0:06 06-01-2002)ÄÄÄ
ÀÄ(~)ÄÄÄ
ÚÄ(i0)Ä(root@localhost on tty7)Ä(0:06 06-01-2002)ÄÄÄ
ÃÄ(~)ÄÄÄ
ÀÄÄÄ
With PS2 it replaces the first character of the second line, so the
lines continue. Combined with color makes it a good visual aid to find
your command lines.
For non-ansi/wrong codepage terminals I use:
PS1="[\$?]-[\u@\h: \w]> "
PS2="> "
Just standard, but I do include the previous program's exit code.
With kind regards, Rogier Steehouder
