More informative bash prompt

[Hannu E K Nevalainen (garbage mail)]

Well, whether this is useful might be a question of preference.

-- .profile --
# Make the prompt tell the last exit code among other things.
export PS1='\[\033]0;\w\007\033[32m\]\u@\
h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] \s (P)PID=($PPID)$$, s=$?\n$ '

DO append the two last lines above (i.e. ...\h... )

 s == exit status of last command/pipe/...
 Take it or leave it. ;-)
