Me again,

What is the difficulty to display the full directory Path before my prompt command ? (like DOS)

I'm using Solaris 8 + Bash

Thanks again

Fabien

Just edit your PS1 Variable like

PS1=' `pwd` `uname -n` # '

Note the different characters ..

I´ve tried it on Solaris 9 SPARC and bash 2.05

To set this permanently :

Just edit the line at the end of your profile
($HOME/.profile)

after the Line you have to add "export PS1" like

...
PS1=' `pwd` `uname -n` # '
export PS1
...

You can also use the format: Am using Korn Shell on HP-UX 11.x

export PS1='$PWD--> '

Above may not work if u put 'pwd'

Try this ....

export PS1=[`hostname`]'$PWD:> '

Easiest way with bash:

export PS1='\w \$ '

bash has a load of prompt escape sequences - see this .

Cheers
