Hi everyone,
I have a minor issue with the /etc/profile file in base files.
I fixed it a while back but the changes over the last few days broke it again
(which made me remember I had done it, which then made me tell you :-).
I still use KSH (generally pdksh) and there is a problem with how this file is
setting PS1.
Basically, the escapes aren't working right (in XWindows at the very least).
So I have now changed it to say:
case "${KSH_VERSION}" in
*MIRBSD*KSH* )
PS1=$(print '^[]0;${PWD}\n^[[32m${USER}@${HOSTNAME}
^[[33m${PWD/${HOME}/~}^[[0m\n$ ')
;;
*PD*KSH* )
PS1=$(print '^[]0;${PWD}\n^[[32m${USER}@${HOSTNAME} ^[[33m${PWD}^[[0m\n$ ')
;;
esac
Please note, ^[ means I have done CTRL-V + ESC.
Also, MKSH and PDKSH need different settings, as PDKSH doesn't seem to have the
${name/pattern/replacement} syntax.
Thanks for all the work on this, CYGWIN is an excellent tool!
Gavin
