hi,
I want to colorize my bash prompt, and added .bash_profile in my home dir (/root):
----8<-------- #############################################################################
export PS1=‘[\033[01;31m]\u[\033[01;33m]@[\033[01;36m]\h [\033[01;33m]\w [\033[01;35m]$ [\033[00m]’ umask 022
#############################################################################
eval “dircolors
”
#############################################################################
alias ls=‘ls $LS_OPTIONS’ alias ll=‘ls $LS_OPTIONS -l’ alias l=‘ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA’ alias …=‘cd …’ alias …=‘cd …/…’ alias s=‘ssh -l root’
#############################################################################
export EDITOR=“nano”
export HISTFILESIZE=99999999 export HISTSIZE=99999999 export HISTCONTROL=“ignoreboth”
export LS_OPTIONS=‘–color=auto -h’
############################################################################# #naj:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc fi ----8<--------
that did not work, and adding above to .bashrc either.
How can I get bash colorized?

To try it first without saving type: <br><pre>export PS1=“\e[0;32m[\u@\h \W]$ \e[m “</pre> <br> <br>If the color is ok then you can save it to your user’s .bashrc typing: <br><pre>export PS1=”\e[0;32m[\u@\h \W]$ \e[m”</pre> <br> <br>
<br>thanks ricardo! <br>it works!!! <br>
