Thanks to all, I got it working, I didn't know that you could use ${PWD}, the doc only mentioned \w or \W. But I still couldn't get rid of the ip address, I would like to replace it with the server name and I replace it in my /etc/sysconfig/network/HOSTNAME, but it still shows, any ideas?
Wrong place.
Add a line to the file /etc/sysconfig/network of the following type: HOSTNAME=myserver.mydomain.net
The change will take place on reboot, but you can apply it manually with # hostname myserver.mydomain.net
