Need some scripting help - jacatone - 01-08-2016
I'm using the following command line to make my username in light red.
export PS1="\[\e[1;31m\][\u@\h\w]\$ \[\e[0m\] "
When I try to make my change permanent in the .bashrc file, it just screws it up. What should I enter into the .bashrc file?
old command:
export PS1="\[\e[1;31m\][\u@\h\w]\$ \[\e[0m\] "

This can be done from the terminal menu
edit ....preferences
click on foreground and choose your colour
ok saves it
hope this helps

LS_COLORS=$LS_COLORS:'di=0;36:fi=0;37' ; export LS_COLORS
#terminal prompt
export PS1='\[\e[1;31m\]\u @ \h \w ->\n\[\e[1;36m\] \@ \d \$\[\e[m\] '
This is a line from my .bashrc file which produces a double line prompt with time and date underneath in cyan and the user name hostname in red
hope this is more useful to your script request
