Reply with quote

ok.... for bash I have the nice

Code:

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'

for my PROMPT_COMMAND

which prints a nice colour coded

Code:

user@hostname /home/user/somedir #

but in xterm on an X11 server I have some other rubbish that prints

Code:

bash-2.05$

as my PROMPT_COMAND how can I change this?
