Setting PS1 via profile
I'd like to use a favorite prompt of mine but it doesn't seem to work...
Normally it's:
MyHost=$(hostname)
PS1='$MyHost ${PWD}:"
which just shows up as:
$(hostname) ${PWD}:
when I log in... -- even though it works from the command line... just not in profile
I'm assuming it's the truncated functionality of ash.
Anyone had this working?

Hey yea,
""s instead of ''s help.
But the prompt seems static now... doesn't change with moving around in directories... that's no fun.

Try this
put in your /etc/profile
cdprompt ()
{
cd $*
PS1="[$LOGNAME@$PWD]"
if [ `id -u` = 0 ]; then
PS1=$PS1"# "
else
PS1=$PS1"$ "
fi
}
alias cd=cdpromt
