Hi,

Add this to your /root/.profile

PS1="$(hostname):\$PWD\# "
export PS1

This is the bare minimum command that you need to run.

export PS1="\$PWD $"

You can add the above command in your .profile file, so that it gets executed everytime you login. In addition you can add more things to your prompt, like username and hostname.

Hi there,

Try to add this into your .profile :

USER=`whoami`
export USER
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
export HOSTNAME
PS1='[$USER@$HOSTNAME] $PWD > '
export PS1

Hope this can help you.

Cheers,

You only need to execute next command on your machine:

HOST=`uname -n`;PS1="\$HOST:\$LOGNAME:\$PWD $ ";export PS1

Hi

Once you update the /.profile, you need to logout & login to see the result.
