I'm actually someone tho likes to use tcsh for a prompt instead of bash:
I use a very simplistic:
| Code: |
set prompt="%t (%n@%m) %/ (%h) "
|
line in my .tcshrc
That gives me:
| Code: |
10:24am (username@computer) /current/directory/ (64)
|
The (64) is the number of commands you have entered in that session. It starts at (1) (obviously) and goes up.
I use 'screen' and this prompt allows me to always know what user I'm logged in as, as well as which machine, and which directory. This is information I find priceless as I work through the day on dozens of tasks, all in the same Terminal window (Different screens)
emerge screen and have a look at what it can do if you've never used it.

I am trying to write a script to set PS1 but it's not changing anything.
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
clear
export PS1=`uname -sr;date +%D`
|
can anybody tell me why? if I echo PS1 from within the script it outputs correctly but it doesn't actually change anything. |

I figured out if I run the file ./filename it wont work but if I run . ./filename then it works. |

# will have some pwd color permissions.
# mail : rannis@free.fr
#
# to use it just put this line in your $HOME/.bashrc
# ---------cut here--------
# [ -f /path/to/lycos_prompt.bash ] && source /path/to/lycos_prompt.bash
# For Gentoo Users add this to have bash completion for emerge.
# emerge bash-completion to take advantage of this.

xming, that's very similar to my prompt, and hence the best I've seen so far!
I think I might actually add the time to my prompts. Thanks for the suggestion.
Anyway, I thought I'd share some of my .bashrc -- actually /etc/bashrc.d/50.prompt (I make it behave like rc.d because it's become so unwieldly). The prompt is exactly like the Slackware prompt (at least from version 3.3 when I first used it), except with color. I used it a lot as a university lab sysadmin, and students started to like it, so I made it pretty obvious to customize.
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
# Set a prompt for shells
normal='\[\033[0m\]'
white='\[\033[1;29m\]'
gray='\[\033[1;30m\]'
red='\[\033[1;31m\]'
green='\[\033[1;32m\]'
yellow='\[\033[1;33m\]'
blue='\[\033[1;34m\]'
magenta='\[\033[1;35m\]'
cyan='\[\033[1;36m\]'
# edit this to alter colors
user="${magenta}\u"
at="${normal}@"
host="${green}\h"
colon="${normal}:"
dir="${cyan}\w"
prompt="${normal}\\$ "
# edit this to alter form
if [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/bash' ] || [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/sh' ]; then
if [ `/usr/bin/whoami` = 'root' ]; then
# I am root
warning=" ${red}Root "
else
# I am not root
unset ROOTPATH
warning=""
fi
# This one prints an extra warning, which can get annoying on e.g. test machines
PS1="${user}${at}${host}${colon}${dir}${warning}${prompt}"
# This one bypasses the warning
# PS1="${user}${at}${host}${colon}${dir}${prompt}"
fi
export PS1

If anyone is still having trouble getting their settings to be universal using bash here is the trick I use.
I put all my settings in the file ~/.bash_profile
I then make a symblic link to that file called ~/.bashrc
This will make all terminals show up uniformly, even when you su!
btw here's mine: PS1='\[[\033[0;32m\]\u\[\033[0;37m\]@\[\033[0;32m\]\h\[\033[0;37m\]:\[\033[0;31m\]\w\[\033[0m\]]$ '

I have experemented with an color gradient bashprompt.
In .bashrc:
| Code: | | PS1="\[\033[1;31m\$(/stuff/gradient)\[\033[0m\]" |
My ugly "color gradient" script:
| Code: | STRING="$PWD -> "
ONE=${STRING:0:1}
TWO=${STRING:1:1}
THREE=${STRING:2:1}
FOUR=${STRING:3:1}

THIRTEEN=${STRING:12:1}
FOURTEEN=${STRING:13:1}
FIFTEEN=${STRING:14:1}
SIXTEEN=${STRING:15:1}
REST=${STRING:16}
echo -e "\033[1;30m$ONE\033[1;30m$TWO\033[1;34m$THREE\033[1;34m$FOUR\033[1;35m$FIVE

This is what I use. The trimpwd functions concentrates your $PWD if it gets to long.
| Code: |
function trimpwd
{
[ -z ${npwd="`expr \"${PWD/$HOME/~}\" : '[~/].*/\(\(.*/\)\{'${1:-1}'\}.*\)'`"} ] && echo ${PWD/$HOME/~} || echo ..$npwd
}
function setprompt
{
[ `/usr/bin/whoami` = 'root' ] && ucolor="\[\e[1;32m\]" || ucolor="\[\e[0;32m\]"
PS1="$ucolor\u\[\e[0;32m\]/\h\[\e[0;36m\] `trimpwd` \[\e[0;33m\]{\j}\[\e[0;31m\]% \[\e[0m\]"
export PS1
}
PROMPT_COMMAND=setprompt
|
Looks something like this:
| Code: |
alex/negativ ..prosjekter/trimpwd {0}%

i did an "emerge -uD world" recently, and now my root bash prompt isn't red anymore. It's the regular green and blue.
I checked /etc/profile, and I still have this line:
export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
(contained within if [ "$LOGNAME" = 'root' ])
I'm not sure if $LOGNAME is getting set, or if /etc/profile is even being read. I do have it sourced from both root and users' .basrc and .bash_profile
I even put the export line above in root's .bashrc and still no red prompt.
any clues?

which gives me:

Pretty simplistic, but somewhat imformative and it doesn't blind the eyes either.

looks like:
| Code: | [ 01:11:12 :: ribo$zeruel :: /proc/ide ]
|
with various colors. I have a eterm command i use to get some nice colors in it: http://system42.net/ribo/eterm

Ahh, prompts, always a good place to flex your terminal code might.
Assuming you are using a VT100 compatible terminal (eg the linux terminal) you have access to the following codes:
ESC7 to save the current cursor position
ESC8 to restore the current cursor position
ESC[ROW;COLUMNH to set the cursor position to position ROW, COLUMN on the screen.
Thus, in bash the snippet
| Code: | | \[\e7\e[0;71H\@\e8\] |
Will place the time in the top right corner of the console.
Obviously the possibilities for this are endless and allows you to put lots of up to date information on the screen without having a prompt that scrolls your terminal three lines at time. It all can be put in a stationary position on the screen.
Notes:
1) The \[ and \] are to tell bash that the enclosed is "non-printable" and prevents it from thinking your prompt line is twice as long as it really is.
2) The cursor position starts at 0,0 (top left), bottom right on a 80x25 screen would be 24,79.
3) I check the $TERM variable and don't bother showing a clock on an xterm. |

Hey, this is cool. And now that I'm experimenting weird stuff with bash,
it should be really cool to show off  Thanks!
This is my prompt:
| Code: |
#================= User prompt =================
function prompt_command {
local PWD="$(pwd | sed s:${HOME}:~:)"
local JOBS="$(jobs | head -c1)"

Looks like
<~/S>
And, if there are background processes:
<~/S>
(Change blue and green for red and yellow for root)
I also have nice funtions for recursive retrieval and file extraction, if anyone
is interested, I'll post my bashrc |

Here is a old prompt I've been using for ages. Here is the code for myprompt.sh
| Code: |
function defprompt {
PS1="\[\033[34m\](\[\033[36m\]\\#\[\033[34m\])\[\033[36m\]\\u\[\033[34m\]@\
\[\033[36m\]\\h\[\033[34m\](\[\033[36m\]$(bptty)\[\033[34m\]-\
\[\033[36m\]\$(bptime)\[\033[34m\]\[\033[36m\]\[\033[34m\])\n\
\[\[\033[34m\][\[\[\033[36m\]\\w\[\033[34m\]>\[\033[00m\] "
PS2="> "
}
function bptime ()
{
echo -n $(date +%l:%M%P)
}
function bptty ()
{
echo -n $(tty | cut -c6-14)
}
|
To use it, simply add these lines to your bashrc or profile, or just on the prompt.
| Code: |
source myprompt.sh
defprompt
|
If all goes well, you should have something like this:

Can anyone help me on this one.
I'm using what I pasted above:
| Code: | | PS1='\n\[\033[32m\]\w\n\[\033[0m\]\[\033[1;35m\]\u \033[1;33m\]-> \[\033[0m\]' |
Now, it works. Except I have two problems.
One. When I log in when my system boots, and I am in the CLI with my Gentoo Bootplash screen (1280x1024) - I have an extra character in the display.
It's like:
~
root *->
everywhere else it's:
~
root ->
Note, it doesnt actually display '*', the actual character is square, and looks kinda like it has a smilie face in it.
Secondly. When my typing goes into another line, my entire input goes WEIRD. For example, if I type "aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccccccccdddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
which will go into a new line on the terminal, it looks like this in XTerm:

I have no Bash Scripting Knowledge, my PS1 was backed of hacking a few examples together.
Anyone have any insight for these two problems? |

The problem is that you've made a minor typo. In your example:
\033[1;33m\] should be \[\033[1;33m\]
Here is your prompt fixed.
| Code: |
PS1="\[\033[32m\]\w\[\033[0m\]\n\[\033[1;35m\]\u\[\033[1;33m\]-> \[\033[0m\]"
