Much simpler: having a colored prompt works quite well to solve the mentioned problem. PS1="\[\033[0;31m\][\u@\h:\w]$\[\033[0m\]"

- wylee 13y agoI just stuck this in my PS1: hr() { printf '=%.0s' $(seq $((${COLUMNS} - 20))) } PS1="${GREY}\d ${RED}\$(hr)${GREY} \t" It dynamically adjusts to the width of the terminal, and looks like this: Mon Feb 10 ======================================== 16:30:30 My complete BASH prompt: https://bitbucket.org/wyatt/dotfiles/src/25cb260a05b68dd81a5c8710b5034a0b08ea9a81/bashrc?at=default#cl-47 https://bitbucket.org/wyatt/dotfiles/src/25cb260a05b68dd81a5...
- jethro_tell 13y agoOr a colored prompt with a timestamp and hostname, great with a huge scrollback. PS1='\[\033[1;32m\](\A) <\h> [$PWD \$ \[\033[m\]' Edit: Using tmux with a 200,000 line scrollback, you can also search scrollback based on the hour in which you ran the command. A search for "(12:" would put you right in the ball park.
