small issues in .profile

[egandro]

There are small issues in the .profile.

1) why do we have a $ befor the name? 2) hostname -i isn't a foolprove way to getting the IP

Try this :)

ip a s|sed -ne '/127.0.0.1/!{s/^[ \t]*inet[ \t]*\([0-9.]\+\)\/.*$/\1/p}'

Credits for that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13322485/how-to-get-the-primary-ip-address-of-the-local-machine-on-linux-and-os-x

$root@mpc-one:~# hostname -i
hostname: mpc-one: Unknown host

Thanks to point that !

The first $ is a mistake.
I'm aware about "hostname" resolution issue, but usually, the host name is resolved at /etc/machine-info for our mpcs. I will use the sed command line from now...more reliable. You're right.

export PS1='[\033[01;32m]\u@\h[\033[00m]:[\033[01;34m]\w[\033[00m]\$ ' echo "Your IP address is $(ip a s|sed -ne '/127.0.0.1/!{s/^[ \t]inet[ \t]([0-9.]+)\/.*$/\1/p}')"

You can rapidly change that in the root/.profile by remounting the root file system read write : ssh root@(your ip) "mount -o remount,rw" / (via ssh to avoid polluting history)

and edit the file via an ssh browser (Thunar or WinSCP, Finder).

then remount in read only, ssh root@(your ip) "mount -o remount,ro" /

alias ll='ls -l'
alias la='ls -a'
export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
cat /root/.tkgl_logo
echo
echo "Welcome to the MPC OS ssh mod !"
uname -a
echo "Your IP address is $(ip a s|sed -ne '/127.0.0.1/!{s/^[ \t]*inet[ \t]*\([0-9.]\+\)\/.*$/\1/p}')"
echo "WARNING : you have root permissions. You could harm your system."
