- Subject: Cygwin BASH prompt a little weird?
Hello,
In Cygwin using this version of BASH, my attempts to get
a simple name of the shell interpreter into my prompt
(PS1) using escaped-s ('\s'), which should work accoding
to
http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-
HOWTO/bash-prompt-escape-sequences.html
does not give the basename of of the shell but the
relative path by which I invoked bash: '/bin/bash'.
The HOWTO above states:
\s the name of the shell, the basename of $0
(the portion following the final slash)
Is Cygwin not compliant with this?
Thanks,
Soren Andersen
