move a nice color prompt with a previous command timer to your shell
configuration
SYNOPSIS
byobu-prompt
byobu-enable-prompt
byobu-disable-prompt
DESCRIPTION
Byobu provides a special PS0 and PS1 prompt command, compatible with
Bash shells. It will display the previous command's total runtime and
exit code, if it's not zero. It will use 3 separate colors for the lo-
cal username, hostname, and the current working directory.
byobu-enable-prompt will add one line to your ~/.bashrc.
You can safely remove the line from your ~/.bashrc, which ends in #by-
obu-prompt.
byobu-disable-prompt will remove its color configuration from
~/.bashrc.
byobu-prompt is an interactive wrapper of the previous two tools.
BUGS
This is currently only compatible with bash(1).
