[X-Unix] Modifying .bashrc to display dns name of machine I'm logged into

[Lewis, Benjamin (Ben)]

>Life would be much easier with my hostname in the prompt. How do I do that?

Hello Al

Try this (stolen from O'Reillys "Learning the bash shell")

PS1="\H> "

in your .bash_profile file. Or

PS1="\h> "

for the hostname up to the first dot.

Regards

Ben
