 Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2007 2:55 pm Post subject: [Solved] How is color of CLI "user@computername" e |
 |
|
Hi, all...
When I use the cli on several different gentoo boxes, it would be nice for each box to have it's own distinct color for the computername@user, as it is displayed within it's terminal command line.
On a gentoo system, how can I alter the default color?
Thanks!

cgmd,
Its set on a per user basis, in each users .bashrc file
Play with the value

cgmd,
The prompt can be anything you want - its fully programmable,so if you want to have computername@user, go ahead

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the time display there? I think there used to be thread with that info but I can't find it

StarDragon...
The user command prompt characteristics are defined in ~/.bashrc.
My .bashrc uses the following entry: | Code: |
# PS1 is the regular prompt.
# Substitutions include:
# \u username \h hostname \w current directory \t time in 24h format
# \! history number \s shell name \$ $ if regular user \T time in 12h format
PS1="\[\033[01;34m\]\u\[ \][\t] \[\033[01;35m\]\w \$ \[\033[00m\]" |
The prompt is "PS1=", and with it's switches (as well as various color definitions) can be modified to your liking. My prompt looks like: | Code: | | cgmd [21:45:04] ~ $ |
The time (in 24h format) is established by the switch [\t].
I'm not an expert, but I hope that helps!
