Shell Programming and Scripting

Ok, I see what's happening. But unfortunately it seems that zsh can't execute commands in PS1 variable. At least I can't find how to do this...
With bash life is a little simplier
And returning to Your first idea, maybe an alias called "ccd" or sth like that, which would look like:

Code:

ccd () {
	cd $@
	wl
}

added to .zshrc file... Works, but requires using "ccd" instead of "cd"

Rubbish zsh Unfortunately, I'm not (yet) to decide which shell to use on our systems.

But I found another way of doing it. I must confess, I don't understand that whole zsh-syntax, but I was able to modify the solution presented in the zsh-FAQ section 3.6.

Putting the following into you zshrc results in displaying "WorkingDir @ Host Username" in the PuTTY-window-title after each cd:

Code:

 chpwd() {
    [[ -t 1 ]] || return
    case $TERM in
      sun-cmd) print -Pn "\e]l$(pwd) @ $(hostname) $(whoami)\e\\"
        ;;
      *xterm*|rxvt|(dt|k|E)term) print -Pn "\e]2;$(pwd) @ $(hostname) $(whoami)\a"
        ;;
    esac
  }

(This rule of not being allowed to post URLs in the beginning is just pathetic. What is the use of that? I know cannot reference the source of my solution...)

Anyway, many thanks sulti!
