works better if you put it in .bashrc OK. I'll try putting it there. When I type in:
PS1='\w `if [$?=0]; then echo :\\); else echo :\\(; fi`'
I keep getting a bash error:
bash:0=0:command not found

Thats so true vnc was nice five years ago but with MS id rather use terminal services and with unix either vnc or X over ssh..

Zeg,
That is a *great* idea! I might implement something like that for the default prompt on my systems at the office..

Glad you liked it. I definitely notice when I'm on a system that doesn't have it. I've thought of incorporating other tests in my prompt, but that is by far the most useful.
One thing that it has helped me out with quite a bit is that it flags programs for you that don't set the status correctly. I've had a heck of a time writing scripts to check for name resolution failure because the 'host' command gives inconsistant results.

I've been using a variation of your prompt since we had this discussion 14 years ago. Here's te relevant portion of my .bashrc :
GREEN='\[\033[32m\]'
RED='\[\033[31m\]'
NC='\[\033[37m\]'
PS1="\u@\w \`if [ \$? = 0 ]; then echo ${GREEN}:\\\)${NC}; else echo ${RED}:\\\(${NC}; fi\`"
The above gives me a green smiley if the command is successful, and a red frowney if it is not. Pretty handy.

Dude, I can’t remember yesterday, much less 14 years ago!
LOL
I just tried it, and it’s really too subtle for me. I’m fairly color blind, and there really isn’t enough color there for me to quickly discriminate it. Does look cool when I bump the font size way up though.
