export PS1="\u@\h\[\e[1;4;33m\][LIVE]\[\e[0m\]:\W$ "
\u@\h\
- user @ hostname
\[\e[1;4;33m\]
- enclosing “\[" and "\]” – to /not/ confuse the screen mode so that auto wrapping is preserved.
- “\e” – is the escape, you could use “33″ too
- “1;4;33″ – “1″ is for “bold”, “4″ is for “underline”, and “33″ is for “yellow”, you can add background colour by adding the ascii code for background colour – just separate these numbers with “;”
\[\e[0m\]
- 0 resets to normal display
\W
- working directory
