How do I set the color of terminal bash prompt and background based on user or system profile ?
Issue
-
How to setup user or system profile to give user's different colored bash prompt ? So that when user login to different servers via ssh, they can identify between two machine based on terminal bash prompt color.
-
For example, Red terminal prompt for production servers, Green terminal prompt for test servers.
-
Note this will not change the background color of the entire screen - just the prompt line. The background color needs to be set by the terminal emulator settings (e.g. putty)
Environment
