What does your prompt look like?

[hash]

Should be easier than posting your dektop screen shots

I use tcsh.
Cant like without (Alt+/) completion.

Code: Select all

set prompt = "`\hostname`|%B%T%b|%C|>"
if(`whoami` == root) then
    set prompt = "`\hostname`|%B%T%b|%C|%B#"
endif

which gives a prompt like:

Code: Select all

machine|9:43|user|>

and,, 'green on black' is a passion
and.. Eterm

I've never bothered to change my shell from the default setup, except for changing the colors. I usually have either black background with white letters, or black background with green letters.

My prompt:

GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu)
aterm 0.4.2

I've been using tcsh for a while now, and I'm in love with it.

I use plain white and black, I'm a little boring in that respect.

No choice for sh?

hm.. ist sh=bash now?
sry, not too sure.

[thamarok]

Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh)

So basically it's better than plain sh. But I don't use ksh/csh stuff so just sh will do.

Using bash with the default debian prompt, out of complete and total laziness. My GNU screen statusline is kinda cool though *smug*

[Hevoos]

What's the difference between these shells?

[sleepyEDB]

My prompt is setup like this:

Code: Select all

PS1="[\!-\u@\H-\w]"

which gives a prompt like this:

[2630-sleepy@testbox-/opt/sfw]

It's a bit long, but it gives all the pertinent information.

And I use a transparent mrxvt (<--- best terminal ev-ar! ) with gray text on a black wallpapered background.
