Root prompt should be # not $ #49

Nit picky I know, but for those of us that live on the linux command line, the prompt for the root user after doing sudo -i should be # not $.

glensc commented 6 years ago

from bash manual:

\$ If the effective uid is 0, #, otherwise $.

so, PS1 needs to contain \$ literally, if inside double quoted as PROMPTCHAR="\\\$"
