PROMPT_COMMAND for screen

[Jean Jordaan]

Hi there

This works fine on some Ubuntu and Debian (4.0) machines:

    PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne
"\033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\033\134\033k${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\033\134"'

However on a Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 machine my prompt looks like this:

134134jean@web2:~

What are those "134" sequences doing in there?

Regards,

Hi Joe

> I imagine they're not getting interpreted as octal values.  Try changing \134 in the string to \0134.

Thank you! Here's a virtual beer for you:
