Set prompt, problems and tricks
I'm using a csh shell (or, that'd be my guess from the .cshrc file I see) and I'm looking to change my prompt.
There are about 10 other threads, I know, but this question is a little more specific. I want to know, is there a way to list the current directory from a certain level or directory down? That is, I'm using a university's Unix server and I don't need to see
/home/ugrads/myName on every line, but I'd like to see everything from myName/ down (so I know where in my own directories I am).
Is it possible to cut the directory like this? Also, using a command like set prompt = "$PWD Through the Hedge \!% :" seems to set the prompt line to the current directory only. Makes sense, setting it equal to the current value of the PWD variable.
How do I get it to change whenever I change directories?
Links to pre-existing helpful threads appreciated. Thanks.
