Re: How to set the prompt os it shows current working directory

Actually, in your example, below, "~" is the current working directory.
"~" is the shortcut for your home directory.
How do I set the prompt in RHEL 4 so that it shows the current working
directory when you login and whenever you change directories. When I
initially log in it doesn't show me the home directory of the oracle
account. When I cd to /u01 it shows that in the prompt and then when I
cd to /u01/app it shows that but when I then cd to oracle it doesn't
show it.
I have this command in my .bash_profile is this correct?
export PS1="[\h:\w]$ "
Thanks,

[root@~]# su - oracle
[ct:~]$
[ct:~]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle
[ct:~]$ cd /u01
[ct:/u01]$ cd app
[ct:/u01/app]$ cd oracle
[ct:~]$
[ct:~]$
[ct:~]$
[ct:~]$ more .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
unset USERNAME
export PS1="[\h:\w]$ "
[ct:~]$
