Tip: show the last 3 directories in the shell prompt
tcsh: have the following in .cshrc (or .tcshrc)
zsh: have the following in .zshrc
bash: have the following in .bashrc
Lacking direct support this is a good approximation.

When I login to a specific machine (running Solaris 2.8; actually serveral machines behave this way), with a known good account, I don't get any shell prompt, and no screen responses to various commands such as ID and PWD. Any ideas on what is causing this, and how to change this behavior? (2 Replies)
Hello,
I wanted to setup user friendly ksh command prompt, by typing first character of files or directories and then tab bring up whole word. No need to type whole file/directory/command names.
Example:
cat a file like university
just typing un and then tab bring up whole university wod.... (3 Replies)
I have a directory that I want to just list the items when going to the URL instead of having an index.html page in the folder. I keep getting a 403 forbidden even though it is in my document root.
I tried to add:
Alias /keys/ "/var/www/html/keys/"
<Directory "/var/www/html/keys">

Hi All,
This is an embarrassingly simple question and couldn't think of "keywords" to search for the answer, but how do I change my UNIX/KSH prompt to show the machine name and my "current" but not "full" directory?
For example: if the machine name is "machine" and I'm currently in... (4 Replies)
Hello all, i'm stumped.... I need to list all directories with all there info and exclude the files, then vice versa.

A couple of times there was the question: in a directory hierarchy how to display the deepest directories only.
For example in Help with listing only subfolders.
My hot solution at that time was (in short)
find . -depth -type d | awk -F / 'NF>=p; {p=NF}'
But another article has opened my eyes... (6 Replies)
We have regularly questions about how to create users and user accounts. But regularly user accounts need to be deleted too. It is quite easy to delete the user account itself but usually the HOME directory of the user remains.
It is good style to remove these directories but simply deleting... (3 Replies)

shells
shells(4) File Formats shells(4)NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
/bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh,
/usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).
