Flexible Prompt
This is mostly untested, and is quite complex. I assume no responsibility blah blah blah ...
The picture shows the basic configuration under a medium load (note the yellow ticks in the upper right corner). Colours are very easy to reconfigure, as is the clock format. The prompt will also show more detail if your system has APM or you are using screen.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# flex - a prompt with nearly everything ...
# - user set-able colours and date format
# - load display (loads above one only, displayed in
# the upper right corner)
# - history number, directory, username, hostname
# - terminal number and clock in the upper right corner
# - if you're in "screen," it will let you know
# - if you have apm, the status of your battery will be
# displayed
# - the info in the upper right corner can be set to
# auto-refresh
# Look past the colour list to set your own prompt colours and options
# Notes:
# ------
# - to clean up previous autorefreshes:
# jobs -l | grep callPrintInfo | awk '{print $2}'
# - could make a lot of stuff user settable as variables,
# like date format (done) ...
# - evidently CHANGING LINES in a tput cursor relocate
# is BAD - this is why I have two separate functions
# setting up the two lines of the upper right corner.
# Without this, long command lines are butchered.
