Hi,
I’m wondering why the number of the the bash console I have opened starts with the number 4.
I have actually no problem with that, but I would like to know if that is due to not well finished old session
and how it is possible to check that.
Thanks for answering

echo $PS1
Good luck.

Hello,
I’m afraid that it doesn’t help me much.
Can you understand that:
marc@linux-kd6l:~> echo $PS1
$(ppwd \l)\u@\h:\w>
marc@linux-kd6l:~>
NB the stupid smiley is not wanted and take the place of : \
I have to correct something else. I discover that I have a problem with vi how say that there is an other works session and I can’t work further on the text I was tipping yesterday
So if you add the /l command to your PS1 prompt, you can get it to display the terminal number. If I open up a terminal session using konsole, it just says /l=1. If I open up a session using Ctrl-Alt-F3 for instance then /l=tty3 but I don’t really know why you start with 4, but you would think that is because sessions 1-3 are already open perhaps? What terminal program are you using and does switching it to something else make any difference?
Thank You,
