An administrator accidentally deleted the production database

Re:An administrator accidentally deleted the production data... by hollander on Wednesday March 23, 2016 @02:42PM (#11347097)

To prevent this I change the PS1 in the bash config. For servers I use a different prompt format.

For my local computer:

hollander@mypc 19:30:45 ~ >

For servers:

[hollander@server01 19:30:45 ~]

This all with coloring for name, servername, time and filepath, different for local computer and server. Root and username have different colors as well.

Local's are green, staging is orange, production is bright red.

Saved me a whole bunch of times when tired.

Can you paste in the shell codes you use?

Red

export PS1="\[\e[31m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[31m\]@\[\e[m\]\[\e[31m\]\h\[\e[m\]\[\e[31m\]:\[\e[m\]\[\e[31m\]\W\[\e[m\] "

Orange

export PS1="\[\e[33m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[33m\]@\[\e[m\]\[\e[33m\]\h\[\e[m\]\[\e[33m\]:\[\e[m\]\[\e[33m\]\W\[\e[m\] "

Green

export PS1="\[\e[32m\]\u\[\e[m\]\[\e[32m\]@\[\e[m\]\[\e[32m\]\h\[\e[m\]\[\e[32m\]:\[\e[m\]\[\e[32m\]\W\[\e[m\] "

As always you can tailor them if you prefer different things to be different colors, I'm often lazy and don't change local machines to green but always change staging to orange and production to red.
