okay...
I was helping someone out on IRC about some basic BSD stuff...
I showed him how to make TAR files, how to change the system time, but
come the time to change the prompt I had some trouble...
What he wanted it to look like was:
sysname /current/dir #
I got it to work except it wouldn't change directory names everytime you change
a directory (for the obvious reason that `pwd` shows the current dir AT THAT POINT)
What I did was:
set prompt="`hostname -s` `pwd` #"
He couldn't even get it to work, getting:
Unmatched `.
csh btw..
I got exactly what I expected except for the changing of directory everytime I cd..
Any ideas ?
thanks...
Yeah, here's the info:
For csh add this to .cshrc file:
alias setprompt 'set prompt="hostname -s' ${cwd}# "'
setprompt
alias cd 'chdir \!* && setprompt'
That should do it.
