My .bash_profile(s)/.bashrc(s) for root and user have grown over the 14
years I have been running Debian. Some entries are commented out but
I could not operate efficiently without most of them. The prompts
shown below are an example of 1 entry in the .bash_profile.
-------------- PS1 Example
# Check which distribution is running
if [ "`grep -c -e "/dev/sda9 /" /etc/fstab`" = 1 ]; then
DI="ETCH"
elif [ "`grep -c -e "/dev/sda5 /" /etc/fstab`" = 1 ]; then
DI="TESTING"
14:56:02
else
DI="SID"
fi
V_TERM=`tty`
box="dj"
export PS1="\[`setterm -foreground green`\]VT${V_TERM##/dev/tty} \
\u-$box-($DI):\w\\$\[`setterm -default`\] "
_______________ End Example
VT2 root-dj-(TESTING):~# wc -l .bash_profile
114 .bash_profile
VT2 root-dj-(TESTING):~# wc -l .bashrc
209 .bashrc
VT4 wtopa-dj-TESTING:~$ wc -l .bash_profile
105 .bash_profile
VT4 wtopa-dj-TESTING:~$ wc -l .bashrc
138 .bashrc
You have already found that ~/bin is a big help as well. My ~/bin is
rather large too.
VT1 root-dj-(TESTING):~# du -chs ~/bin
1.6M /root/bin
1.6M total
VT4 wtopa-dj-TESTING:~$ du -chs ~/bin
816K /home/wtopa/bin
816K total
Isn't Debian (Linux) fun!
