I am not at the console much, so colors don't work for me too well. However, a LF does make things nice a neat. Here is what I use in BASH: PS1=" \u @ \h | \w # " PS2=" \u @ \h | \w PS2> " Example: root @ wolverine | /usr/local/etc/apache # This gives me a nice LF after any previous output, plenty of space on the line to PWD, and another LF for the next command. Not fancy, but gets the job done.... =========== Michael Oliver To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
