Tom, I was dropping my son off at ECU yesterday to start his college journey and couldn’t offer a more articulate answer on your question.
I am including a link to a good article on Medium.Com <http://medium.com/> that talks about prompt setup for Bash. This is where my TERMINFO comment came from. This article talks about the process. As well as creating prompts for bash in general. https://medium.com/@sdearth/color-terminals-on-z-os-unix-system-services-6e9b3958af1b https://medium.com/@sdearth/color-terminals-on-z-os-unix-system-services-6e9b3958af1b I tried your prompt on my system which is running bash and got this result. export PS1="[\\u@\\H \\W \\@]\\$ " [OMVSKERN@M103 ~ 10:28 AM]# I assume this is that you were expecting. I was adding color to mine and this is the prompt I use export PS1="^[[38;5;126m`whoami`@^[[1;31m:`hostname | sed 's/\..*//'`^[[0m>” Note the funky ^[ in the prompt. It is generated by doing a Ctrl-K and then immediately pressing ESC This is what messed me up but may not be your issue. Also, I set my PS1 in .bashrc and not /etc/profile as I expect my users will customize their prompts to their taste and workflows. I hope this helps at least in providing a pointer or two.
