If i have a login that gets to the $ sign, how do it get it back to the # sign?

Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Ok, so when i get to the # sign, how do it get it so it shows my path on the screen. Ex.

# cd /u1
/u1#

insert in your $HOME/.profile the lines:

PS1='#'
export PS1


and run
. $HOME/.profile

To get the current directory:-

PS1='$PWD #'

[CHRIS_ANORUO]

Try PS1=$(whoami)`uname -n` '[${PWD##*/}] '
This will show you current directory where you are, username and the system name

[CHRIS_ANORUO]

Try export PS1=$(whoami)`uname -n` '[${PWD##*/}] '
This will show you current directory where you are, username and the system name

insert in your .profile the following :


PS1='$PWD # '

export PS1
