As you seem pretty knowledgeable with bash usage, I have a question:
In my .bashrc I have:
PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w \$ '
So I get a prompt including a tilde in the prompt when the current
directory is under my home directory, ie ~/foo instead of
/home/broult/foo
Do you know how I can get the same behavior with the command you just
written for the PROMPT_COMMAND variable?
Thank you,
Chris
