What's your PS1?

On my current laptop and desktop:

Code:

PS1="\$ "     # User
PS1="# "      # Root

On my future laptop:

Code:

PS1="\[\033[1;34m\]arch\[\033[0;37m\]angel\$ "     # User
PS1="\[\033[1;34m\]arch\[\033[0;37m\]angel# "      # Root

Re: What's your PS1?

PS1='\[\e[1;35m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\W\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;31m\]> \[\e[0m\]'
PS2='>'
echo -e "                Welcome to ${bold}Arch Linux${boldoff}"
sleep 1
clear

I like to add a little welcome message tongue

To see what my prompt looks like, just take a look at My Desktop

Re: What's your PS1?

Code:

bash_prompt_cmd() {
        local CY="\[\e[1;36m\]" # Each is 12 chars long
        local BL="\[\e[1;34m\]"
        local WH="\[\e[1;37m\]"
        local BR="\[\e[0;33m\]"
        local RE="\[\e[1;31m\]"
        local PROMPT="${CY}$"
        [ $UID -eq "0" ] && PROMPT="${RE}#"

        # Add the first part of the prompt: username,host, and time
        local PROMPT_PWD=""
        local PS1_T1="$BL.:[ $CY`whoami`@`hostname` $BL: $CY\t $BL:$CY "
        local ps_len=$(( ${#PS1_T1} - 12 * 6 + 6 + 4 )) #Len adjust for colors, time and var
        local PS1_T2=" $BL]:.\n${PROMPT} \[\e[0m\]"
        local startpos=""

        PROMPT_PWD="${PWD/#$HOME/~}"
        local overflow_prefix="..."
        local pwdlen=${#PROMPT_PWD}
        local maxpwdlen=$(( COLUMNS - ps_len ))
        # Sometimes COLUMNS isn't initiliased, if it isn't, fall back on 80
        [ $maxpwdlen -lt 0 ] && maxpwdlen=$(( 80 - ps_len )) 

        if [ $pwdlen -gt $maxpwdlen ] ; then
                startpos=$(( $pwdlen - maxpwdlen + ${#overflow_prefix} ))
                PROMPT_PWD="${overflow_prefix}${PROMPT_PWD:$startpos:$maxpwdlen}"
        fi      
        export PS1="${PS1_T1}${PROMPT_PWD}${PS1_T2}"
}
PROMPT_COMMAND=bash_prompt_cmd

In effect, it looks like:

Code:

.:[ b-con@beacon : the-time : /working/directory ]:.
$

with colorization. I pieced it together so that I could dynamically calculate the width of the terminal and truncate the displayed working directory if it causes the total width of the line to exceed the terminal's width. (Given how I do things, this actually comes in handy every now and then.)

Re: What's your PS1?

Yes, you may ask. Would you like an answer to go with your question?

Well, PS1 is a variable set in your .bashrc that defines what your prompt looks like.

export RPS1="%(?..%?)"

export SPROMPT='%R is not available, maybe you fool wanted %r? '

export PS2='`_> '

preexec () {
    if [[ "$TERM" == "screen" ]]; then
    local CMD=${1[(wr)^(*=*|sudo|-*)]}
    echo -ne "\ek$CMD\e\\"

Re: What's your PS1?

PS1='\[\033[0;31m\][\@]\[\033[0;m\][\[\033[0;34m\]\u@\[\033[0;33m\]\h\[\033[0;m\] \w]\[\033[0;32m\]\$ '
set prompt="%{^[[31m%}[%t]%{^[[m%}[%{^[[34m%}%n@%{^[[33m%}%m %{^[[m%}%~]%{^[[32m%}$ "


First is for bash, the second is for tcsh. They are the same, took me ages to do!

Re: What's your PS1?

Code:

export PS1=$'%{\e[0;36m%}%?%.%#%{\e[0;0m%}'
export PS2=$'%{\e[0;36m%}%?%.%{\e[0;0m%}> '

For zsh. It looks awful, but it's really just the return value of the last command, the current directory (sans path), and a %, all in cyan.

Re: What's your PS1?

This is what i used to have:
green smile when command is succesful and a red frown when it fails

Code:

bash_prompt_command() {
RTN=$?
smiley=$(smiley $RTN)
smileyc=$(smileyc $RTN)
}
PROMPT_COMMAND=bash_prompt_command
            
smiley() {
if [ $1 == 0 ] ; then
echo ":)"
else
echo ":("
fi
}
smileyc() {
if [ $1 == 0 ] ; then
echo $GREEN
else
echo $RED
fi
}
                                                                    
if [ $(tput colors) -gt 0 ] ; then
RED=$(tput setaf 1)
GREEN=$(tput setaf 2)
RST=$(tput op)
fi
PS1="\[\$smileyc\]\$smiley\[$RST\] \$ "

but now i've combined it (see: hacked it together) with B-con's lovley script:\

Code:

bash_prompt_cmd() {
RTN=$?



smiley() {
    if [ $1 == 0 ] ; then
echo ":)"
    else
echo ":("
       fi
    }
smileyc() {
    if [ $1 == 0 ] ; then
echo $GREEN
else
echo $RED
       fi
    }
 if [ $(tput colors) -gt 0 ] ; then
RED=$(tput setaf 1)
GREEN=$(tput setaf 2)
RST=$(tput op)
fi
smiley=$(smiley $RTN)
smileyc=$(smileyc $RTN)
        local CY="\[\e[1;31m\]" # Each is 12 chars long
        local BL="\[\e[1;34m\]"
        local WH="\[\e[1;37m\]"
        local BR="\[\e[0;33m\]"
        local RE="\[\e[1;31m\]"
        local PROMPT="${CY}$"
        [ $UID -eq "0" ] && PROMPT="${RE}#"

        # Add the first part of the prompt: username,host, and time
        local PROMPT_PWD=""
        local PS1_T1="$BL.:[ $CY`whoami`@`hostname` $BL: $CY\t $BL:$CY "
        local ps_len=$(( ${#PS1_T1} - 12 * 6 + 6 + 4 )) #Len adjust for colors, time and var
        local PS1_T2=" $BL]:.\n\[\$smileyc\]\$smiley\[$RST\] " 
        local startpos=""

        PROMPT_PWD="${PWD/#$HOME/~}"
        local overflow_prefix="..."
        local pwdlen=${#PROMPT_PWD}
        local maxpwdlen=$(( COLUMNS - ps_len ))
        # Sometimes COLUMNS isn't initiliased, if it isn't, fall back on 80
        [ $maxpwdlen -lt 0 ] && maxpwdlen=$(( 80 - ps_len )) 

        if [ $pwdlen -gt $maxpwdlen ] ; then
                startpos=$(( $pwdlen - maxpwdlen + ${#overflow_prefix} ))
                PROMPT_PWD="${overflow_prefix}${PROMPT_PWD:$startpos:$maxpwdlen}"
