I want to show the bash PID in my prompt. For example, if the PID of shell is 12345 I want the prompt to look like this:
[$$=12345 ~/tmp] # If I set PS1 like this: PS1='[$$=$$ \w] \$ ' then both `$$' would be expanded to 12345. If I set PS1 like this: PS1='[\$\$=$$ \w] \$ ' then `\$\$' would be expanded to `##'. At last I tried like this: PS1='[\044\044=$$ \w] \$ ' but it turned out to be the same as the first one! Anybody has any idea?
