The only difference between "su" and "su -" is that "su" does not load root's environment. So I would assume that "su" gets whatever prompt is set as default for all users. Adam On Wed, 24 Oct 2001, Michael Grau wrote:
In /etc/profile.local
I have PS1 defined as
PS1=`echo '\n\h:\033[1m$PWD\033[0m\n# '` <- for root (if UID = 0) PS1=`echo '\n\h:\033[1m$PWD\033[0m\n> '` <- for others
How do I change the command line prompt when I "su" as opposed to "su -"?
Sorry for the newbie question ...
