congratulations for this new feature in 10.3 ! I really like it !
1. Who made it? 2. Where can I find documentation that allows me to change bash prompt? (colors, symbols, etc...) I know this is a bash-specific PS1/PS2 variables were changed...
You can define your $PS1 variable in root's .bashrc file like this:
export PS1="\[\e[31;1m\]\u# \[\e[0m\]"
This line surns your text red(\[\e[31;1m\]) prints the prompt (\u$ ) then turns the text coloring off (\[\e[0m\])
Other colors are likewise available using the following codes:
RED "\e[0;31m]" YELLOW "\e[0;33m]" PURPLE "\e[0;35m]" WHITE "\e[0;37m]" BLUE "\e[0;34m]" BLACK "\e[0;30m]" CYAN "\e[0;36m]" BOLD "\e[1;1m]" BLINK "\e[5m]" INVERT "\e[7m]" UNDRLN "\e[4m]" OFF "\e[0;0m]"
Almost certainly there are other ways to do this, but this is the one that I know. Perhaps others will share their methods.
Thanks a lot ! I'm considering adding this stuff to "Lessons for Lizards". Is there any extra info on that? Why two numbers for colors ? What do they mean ? What the "m" mean on the color table? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
