How to reset back "[root@unidata ~]# "?

**timiao** · 11-30-2009

The Linux OS is CentOS 5.2. Now, when logging in the OS using "root", the prompt is "-bash-3.2# ". How can I set back "[root@unidata ~]# "? Thank you!

Code:

su -
nano /root/.bash_profile

Find and comment out any existing lines for PS1.

Add this

Code:

export PS1='\[\e[1;31m\][\u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] '

Tip: Prompt magic
