Virtual accounts - changing prompt

[adashiu]

Hi guys!
I need to write a bash script that will allow me to manage my "virtual network" (in reality just a bunch of directories and files).

I need to obtain something like : I have my own command 'connect'. We can use it in two different modes: user and admin.

If I type 'connect adashiu virtual_machine_name, computer will ask about password, if password is correct he will change a prompt to :

adashiu_at_virtual_machine_name >

after that user can start to use commands reserved only for user mode.

Analogically with admin mode: prompt 'admin >' and administrator can only use bunch of commands reserved for him.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem with changing prompt and separated commands for user and admin ?

Thank you in advance and
sorry for my english

Adam

Look at the shell prompt string variables (PS1, PS2, PS3, etc).
