Like, I suspect, many people, I have custom settings for PS1 in my
~/.bashrc file:
PS1="\u@\H\w\n\t \$ "
This give me a conventient prompt:
shortcircuit at caterpillar~
22:53:34 $
I see my username, the name of the machine I'm logged into, my path,
the current time, and whether or not I'm logged in as root.
In the past, I've had prompts which executed scripts that displayed an
indicator to tell me whether or not certain accounts were logged in.
What do you use for a prompt? What's the most unique prompt you've ever used?
