Greetings all,
in order to have a reminder when switching to root, I am trying to colour code the prompts. It is working for the user, but not for root. I have copied the working prompt from the ~/.profile to the /root.profile:
Code:
export PS1='\e[0;31m\u@\h\e[00m:# '
but it does not work when I su to root. I have checked $TERM and it shows xterm.
Interestingly, when I log out of Openbox session and log in as root, the FVWM terminal shows the root's prompt correctly.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Kindest regards,
M
