Hi,
I am using Unix, I have added below in the .profile to change my prompt value.
The problem is, after changing the directory, path is not being refreshed. Is there anything wrong?
Thanks,
Milind

Dear Admins,
I think it would be good if the page is auto-refreshed after some duration.
generally I do a manual reload/refresh from browser to get the new post/updates.
I am not very sure if its already being done (may be the duration is too long?). (1 Reply)
If I enter (simplified):
find . -printf "%p\n"
then all files in the output are prepended by a "." like
./local/share/test23.log
How can achieve that
a.) the leading "./" is omitted
and/or
b.) the full path to the current directory is inserted (enclosed by brackets and a blank)... (1 Reply)

pwd
PWD(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWD(1)NAME
pwd -- return working directory name
SYNOPSIS
pwd [-LP]
DESCRIPTION
pwd writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.
The following options are available:
-L If the PWD environment variable is an absolute pathname that contains neither "/./" nor "/../" and references the current directory,
then PWD is assumed to be the name of the current directory.
-P Print the physical path to the current working directory, with symbolic links in the path resolved.
The default for the pwd command is -P.
pwd is usually provided as a shell builtin (which may have a different default).
EXIT STATUS
The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO cd(1), csh(1), ksh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)STANDARDS
The pwd utility is expected to be conforming to IEEE Std 1003.1 (``POSIX.1''), except that the default is -P not -L.
BUGS
In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster (although it can give a different answer in the rare case that the current directory or a con-
taining directory was moved after the shell descended into it).
pwd -L relies on the file system having unique inode numbers. If this is not true (e.g., on FAT file systems) then pwd -L may fail to detect
that PWD is incorrect.
