Re: Coolest prompt?

[Aaron Davies <agdavi01@louisville.edu>]

Mine currently says

91.0 F Aaron-Davies-Computer~ :) %

the relevant zprofile line is

export PS1='`cat /tmp/temperature`'" %m%~ %(0?.:).:() %# "

but the real magic is in my crontab:

*/15 * * * *    curl -s 
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KSDF.html | grep 'F (' | head 
-n 1 | awk '{print $3 " " $4}' > /tmp/temperature

I got both "cute" ideas (the temp and the return-code smilies) from 
Slashdot discussions on prompt strings.
