Hi all,
I've decided that I should increase the readability of bash since I
spend so much time on it. At this point, I have set the prompt like
so:
user at host:/current/working/directory
[nn]$
where "nn" is the current command number (unnecessary, but can
occasionally be useful). Additionally, there is an extra newline
between the last command output and the "user at ...". What I want to
add, however, is yet another newline between my command and the
command's output, e.g.,
user at host:/current/working/directory
[nn]$ run_some_command
First line of output
Second line of output
I have so far not been able to find out how to do this. Any ideas?
Thanks,
