My problem is that $PWD is not working, when I get the prompt and I change directories, the prompt is not displaying the current (changed) directory. I've seen other posts where people do single quotes:
Code:
PS1='$LOGNAME@$HOSTNAME:${PWD}$MYPROMPT'
but that didn't work for me as I get this:
Code:
$LOGNAME@$HOSTNAME:${PWD}$MYPROMPT
as the prompt !!!.
Please help.
Thanks.
