[Solved] PS1 directory path not refreshing...
Hi, I am using Unix, I have added below in the .profile to change my prompt value. Code:
PS1=`logname`@`hostname`:$PWD# The problem is, after changing the directory, path is not being refreshed. Is there anything wrong? Thanks, Milind Last edited by Scott; 01-15-2013 at 08:05 AM.. Reason: Code tags |

You need to put that in single quotes: Code:
PS1='....' LOGNAME and HOSTNAME are usually variables, so do you need to "execute" those commands? |

Thanks Scott, it worked by adding single quotes just for PWD command and keeping rest same.
