</div>


<div>
thanks again ! .. for your time and effort&nbsp;<br>I got what I needed&nbsp;
</div>


<div>
if you still want it yellow, look at 33<br />
<br />
if you want it with a background color look at the 40-47 in the same scheme as 30-37 work.switches on backcolor.
</div>


<div>
is there any option to be bold ? if so, please advice&nbsp;
</div>


<div>
What do you mean bold<br />
<br />
try these<br />
<br />
export PS1='\e[1;33m$(whoami)@$(h<wbr />ostname)\e<wbr />[0m : \e[0;33m$(whoami)@$(hostna<wbr />me)\e[0m &nbsp;$ '<br />
export PS1='\e[1;43m$(whoami)@$(h<wbr />ostname)\e<wbr />[0m : \e[0;43m$(whoami)@$(hostna<wbr />me)\e[0m &nbsp;$ '<br />
<br />
1 might be the &quot;bold&quot; that you are after.
</div>


<div>
or <br />
export PS1='\e[1;33m$(tput bold)$(whoami)@$(hostname)<wbr />\e[0m : \e[0;33m$(whoami)@$(hostna<wbr />me)\e[0m &nbsp;$ '<br />
<br />
tinker with the data in the link to see what you are after<br />
\[$(tput bold) ......
</div>


<div>
Thanks Arnold.<br>Your first post solved mostly my requirement.<br>Bold means this way -- <strong>&nbsp;bold</strong><br>Is there any chance?
</div>


<div>
test the examples I provided<br />
bold is emphasis, since you are defining the prompt, can you distinguish whether it is bold or <b>bold</b><br />
<br />
making the color of the prompter more pronounced i.e. 0 or 1 <br />
\e[0;33mbold<br />
or <br />
\e[1;33mbold ....<br />
<br />
the link i provided includes the use of $(tput bold)text as an options.<br />
<br />
<br />
You have to test and decide.<br />
<br />
Which background color does your terminal have, is it the classic, black? or do you prefer a white &nbsp;or other color background that you yellow text on what background?<br />
<br />
green on black background, grey background with green letters??<br />
<br />
<br />
you now have an idea of the options, try different things until you get what you are looking for.<br />
tput can also be used to set color. please do take a look at the options and description of the options on the link I originally posted.

Linux :  How to Customize PS1 variable , Bash Colors and Content in Linux Terminal Prompt

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.

Miscellaneous

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
