MS-DOS old timers should appreciate this. I’ve been using this snippet for a few years in my ESX host deployment scripts.
ESX script to display the full path in COS
Example:
In your ESX console, instead of seeing this:
[root@host vmware]#
You’ll see this:
[root@host /etc/vmware]#
#Paste the following into PuTTY on your ESX host:
mv /etc/bashrc /etc/bashrc.old
sed -e “s/\\h \\\W/\\h \\\w/g” /etc/bashrc.old > /etc/bashrc
Close your PuTTY session and re-open to see the change take effect.
I’ve been using this for ages, I love this little tweak! Makes life a lot easier when troubleshooting.
