Promptly
I have for a long time used the following prompt in my bash shell:
S1="\h \w\n\r% "
hoarfrost
%
I do however sometimes resort to wanting to copy a path and command to another terminal, where I would just write cd
The % would however give the following error message when pasted:
-bash: fg: %: no such job
So I changed it to:
PS1="\h \w\n\r; "
Warning gone, I could remove the hostname to make it easier to copy it.
PS1="\h\n\w\n\r; "
Suggestions welcome:
In addition to the bash prompt, I find the following to prompt useful:
For MySQL:
MYSQL_PS1="(\u@\h) [\d]> "
For PostgreSQL (from
\set PROMPT1 '(%n@%m) [%/]>'
These show the user, hostname and database. Having the two database engine prompt being uniform, is quite nice.
I found the following tip however, which includes transactional state in the prompt. This could prove quite useful.
prompt suggestions and examples welcome

# Shell prompt (Score:1)
I use '#' (comment marker) at the beginning of the 2-line prompt (when using X; space is at premium on console). That way even if you copy the whole thing, one can still edit the lines before executing. (BTW, vi-mode in zsh is really excellent, much better than ksh93 or bash3.)

Color as hint (Score:1)
I use color on my .psqlrc on production machines, in particular, the red color, to remember to think twice before "TRUNCATE"-ing tables or deleting stuff... :-)
