Subject: How to set the prompt os it shows current working directory
How do I set the prompt in RHEL 4 so that it shows the current working
directory when you login and whenever you change directories. When I
initially log in it doesn't show me the home directory of the oracle
account. When I cd to /u01 it shows that in the prompt and then when I
cd to /u01/app it shows that but when I then cd to oracle it doesn't
show it.
I have this command in my .bash_profile is this correct?
export PS1="[\h:\w]$ "
Thanks,
Dave Martini
