Hi .. I never used this but I can say you that you are using 'text
strings' in that variable .. Everything you put enclosed in ' and " is a
'text string' in c, perl, php, bash and others.
PS1=$'\E[31m'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'\E[1;33m'`hostname -s`:$'\E[0m>'
The result looks like this
PS1=$'\E[31m'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'\E[1;33m'`hostname -s`:$'\E[0m>'
$ \E[31m [EMAIL PROTECTED] \E[1;33m leva :$ \E[0m>
Do you see?
Try to eliminate ' and try .. Maybe it works.
