Hi,
I'm using the ksh shell and I'd like to set my PS1 prompt on an AIX system to include, amongst ther things, the current time.
This was my best effort: export PS1=$(date -u +%R)'${ME}:${PWD}# '
but this only sets the time to the value when PS1 is defined and the time value doesn't... (4 Replies)
Hi,
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to get a timestamp on my Solaris root shell prompt using /sbin/sh?
I'm trying to archive something in line with the following:

I am looking to create some ksh93 extensions using the custom builtin feature.
I can successfully create a builtin function, load it using the builtin -f command and get an output. However, I want to get/set values of KSH variables from within my built-in.
For example, lets say I am creating... (2 Replies)
I am trying to create my custom prompt and I have almost succeeded. Right now I have PS1='\n\\$\ '
What I have not figured out is how to make the directories bold when I'm using commands ls or ls -la.
Any idea how to do it???
Many thanx. (2 Replies)
So, this is strange... I created this prompt:
PS1='\n\e
You can see that it's a pretty minor modification of the default Debian prompt. And, if it matters, I'm using Putty to SSH to my server. The following strange symptoms appear when I use that prompt, and disappear when I change and... (2 Replies)

platform::shell
platform::shell(3tcl) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(3tcl)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?
platform::shell::generic shell
platform::shell::identify shell
platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.
This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.
While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell
this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.
For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed
packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.
COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell
This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::generic shell
This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.
platform::shell::platform shell
This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
