This can be in your .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, .bash_login, and /etc/profile depending on your system. If you do man bash and then search for PS1 you can find out what backslash escapes work in the prompt string. If you put it in a file make sure to export the PS1 variable with export PS1. > > Thanks > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list -- Unix is a user friendly operating system.
