Re: nice PS1 with /bin/sh

[Yutaka KAWASE <yutaka@mailhost.net>]

Thank you for your mail, Trevor.

However, it did not work on /bin/sh (ksh).

  yutaka@dx:~$ export PS1="\u@\H:\w$ "
  \u@\H:\w$ bash
  yutaka@dx:~$ exit  
  exit
  \u@\H:\w$ echo $SHELL
  /bin/sh
  \u@\H:\w$ echo $KSH_VERSION
  @(#)PD KSH v5.2.13.7 99/01/15
  \u@\H:\w$ 

Thanks again, anyhow.
