Strange behavior with PS1 prompt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fedora 11...

I set my PS1 prompt in ~/.bashrc
[don@natasha] /home/don
$echo $PS1
\n\033[0;35m[\u@\h] ${PWD}\n$\033[0m

Then I enter an incorrect command....
[don@natasha] /home/don
$goof afile
-bash: goof: command not found

Then I press the up arrow (twice) for command recall... but notice how
the incorrect command name now appears as part of the prompt.
I can type a new command (echo) which works, even though it looks like
goofecho was entered.
Then the prommpt returns to "normal" again.

[don@natasha] /home/don
$goofecho $PS1
\n\033[0;35m[\u@\h] ${PWD}\n$\033[0m

[don@natasha] /home/don
$


Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,
Don Russell
