PS1 = ' [EMAIL PROTECTED] '
case `id -u` in
0) PS1='${PS1} # ';; # root
*) PS1='${PS1} $ ';; # everyone else
When I log in, I am greeted with:
${PS1} $ $
$PS1 nie ${Ps1}
However, if I su to root, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/user]#
That is what I wanted, but for some reason it is not working for a
normal user. I thought perhaps the problem could be that .bash_profile
is only loaded when a non-login shell is spawned, but a quick
consultation of man bash revealed that bash reads ~/.bash_profile when
it is invoked as a login shell.
My next thought was that it was a permissions issue, but:
su
chmod 777 .bash_profile
exit
logout
login
That did not change the results, the output was still the same as above.
This is all being done at the console, by the way.
Appreciate any advice,
montag
