SHELLS

[durban56]

hi Guys,

How do I make the bash shell my shell everytime I logon to the system. Also how do I display the current directory i'm in at the prompt.

You should be able to do this (depending on your system security settings):

passwd -e /bin/bash your_user_name

Or, if you have root access:

usermod -s /bin/bash your_user_name

You set the PS1 variable to change your prompt, for e.g. the following setting:

[tt]PS1='$PWD $ '[/tt]

..would make your prompt like this:

[tt]/some/dir $[/tt]
