I get the # when ever I log into terminal as su
how do I change it to show [root@domanName]currentDir# ?
I've added a /etc/bashrc and this inside of it.
#if [[ $EUID == 0 ]] ; then
if [[ id == 0 ]] ; then
export PS1="\[\e[41m\]\u\[\e[m\]@\[\e[41m\]\h\[\e[m\]\w# "
else
export PS1="\u@\h\w $"
fi
this only shows
[\u@\h:\w] $
and changes the shell to sh no longer giving me history using the arrows on
the keyboard.
what file and where did you (void creators) hide it so I can modify it to
get it to show a prompt I like more better then just #
and why it is such a hard subject to find an answer to on the internet?
