I use this in .bashrc (to embed $rootmark in an ESC sequence in PS1 later). I think it doesn't have specific dependencies and also it's portable (except the group names are Windows ones...).
It's not portable because Windows default user/group names are localized.
if id | grep -e "gid=.*(root)" -e "gid=.*(Administrators)" > /dev/null then rootmark="30;41"; dirmark=7 elif id | grep -e "gid=.*(Power Users)" > /dev/null
German Windows uses "Administratoren", "Hauptbenutzer", "Domänen-Admins', ...
then rootmark="30;43"; dirmark=7 else rootmark=0; dirmark="33;44" fi Also I embed [$SHLVL] in PS1 unless it's 0, just as a suggestion.
Makes sense. I vote +1 for the base-file's /etc/bash.bashrc :-) Christian -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
