Good day,

Excuse for considering a foolish question, that affects in nothing the
normal operations of the system.

How to show console prompt color at the users non root?

srv # root show red color, non root no show color

Thank for your help,

Regards,

Look at this configuration file:

/etc/bash.bashrc

Color for root is set at line 191 and following lines (11.3). You can do a similar thing for other users if you like, but preferrably in ~/.bashrc

Hi
I use the following in my ~/.bashrc


RS="\\033[0m\]" # reset
HC="\\033[1m\]" # hicolor
UL="\\033[4m\]" # underline
INV="\\033[7m\]" # inverse background and foreground
FBLK="\\033[30m\]" # foreground black
FRED="\\033[31m\]" # foreground red
FGRN="\\033[32m\]" # foreground green
FYEL="\\033[33m\]" # foreground yellow
FBLE="\\033[34m\]" # foreground blue
FMAG="\\033[35m\]" # foreground magenta
FCYN="\\033[36m\]" # foreground cyan
FWHT="\\033[37m\]" # foreground white
BBLK="\\033[40m\]" # background black
BRED="\\033[41m\]" # background red
BGRN="\\033[42m\]" # background green
BYEL="\\033[43m\]" # background yellow
BBLE="\\033[44m\]" # background blue
BMAG="\\033[45m\]" # background magenta
BCYN="\\033[46m\]" # background cyan
BWHT="\\033[47m\]" # background white

PS1="$HC$FBLE$(ppwd \l)\u@\h:\w\$ $RS"
PS2="$HC$FBLE> $RS"

So my user prompt is FBLE (foreground blue)
