I want to show the bash PID in my prompt. For example, if the PID of shell
is 12345 I want the prompt to look like this:
[$$=12345 ~/tmp] #
If I set PS1 like this:
PS1='[$$=$$ \w] \$ '
then both `$$' would be expanded to 12345. If I set PS1 like this:
PS1='[\$\$=$$ \w] \$ '
then `\$\$' would be expanded to `##'. At last I tried like this:
PS1='[\044\044=$$ \w] \$ '
but it turned out to be the same as the first one!
Anybody has any idea?
