the promt in linux supports colors since long ago which is smarter than guess by error messages that it was a root command happily with not enough permissions /root/.basrhc (red prompt): PS1="\[\033[1;31m\][\u@\h:\w]$\[\033[0m\] " ~/.bashrc (green prompt) PS1="\[\033[1;32m\][\u@\h:\w]$\[\033[0m\] " ______________________________ i use the follwoing schema since many years RED: root on production servers ORANGE: root on my machines YELOW: root on backup.machines GREEN: my user LIGHTBLUE: buildusers DARKBLUE: vm hosts no, i have no good documentation, i googled around for colors i searched :-)
