There's something wrong with my bash command prompt. The prompt looks
fine initially, but screws up when a long command is entered (among
other things). It's probably something like a missing bracket, but I
can't figure out what's wrong. Can you spot any problems with the
definition given below?
PS1='[\u@\[\e[0;31m\h\e[0m]\]:\W\$ '
I'd appreciate any help/suggestions with this. It has been driving me
crazy! :)
TIA,
Daniel
