Hey, sorry for not responding to this sooner. I've actually been meaning to refactor / add to this project for a while so sure, mksh support could be cool.
I've created a branch called mksh
with basic mksh support that seems to work, though I haven't tested it extensively. The remaining work / known bugs are:
shell
, shell version
, and shell release
are wrong.git status
and error code
aren't implemented.12hr time w/ seconds
shows AM/PM in mksh but not bash.The rest of the prompt elements and color selection should work.
Something I'm not sure of is how to handle the shell version
and shell release
elements in mksh. In bash they appear as 4.2
and 4.2.42
. The closest analog I could find was the $KSH_VERSION
environment variable, but it doesn't follow the same major.minor.patch
pattern. On my laptop it's @(#)MIRBSD KSH R51 2015/07/10
. Any suggestions on what parts of this string it would make sense to display?

OK, thanks.

OK, I’ll look at that when I get the time.

Should be easy.

Isn’t it supposed to?

Well, the release number is the shell version, mostly, and the date could be used for shell release? I have no idea. I don’t subscribe to the concept that there should be multiple decimal dots in a number.
bye,

Hi,
would you be interested in support for generating a PS1 for the other big Unix shell mksh from the same webapp? Shouldn’t be to difficult, and I convert GNU bash prompts to mksh syntax in IRC all the time…
