Wanted to inform all of a problem I had the other day.
I have the following in my .bashrc:
PS1='bash % '
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]2;$LOGNAME_at_$HOSTNAME: \
$PWD\007\033]1;$LOGNAME_at_$HOST\007"'
which puts the username and the working directory in the titlebar. Works
very well on my computer. However, the other day I connected to my
computer from one at work, and I never got a prompt. I gave up on the
connection, grabbed my .bashrc with ftp, put a "#" in front of the
"export..." stuff to make it a comment, and sent the new .bashrc back to
my computer. Reconnected and everything worked just fine. I don't know
if this will happen to everyone (I was connecting from a VMS machine), and
anybody who knows more than I do is invited to volunteer their knowledge.
G.F.
