Bash defines three configurations files:
.bash_profile - environmental variables.bashrc - aliases, shell options.bash_logout - executed on logoutCreate /etc/profile.d/system.sh
#!/bin/sh
# 36=lt-blue, 35=purple, 34=dk-blue, 32=green, 31=red
if [ "$SHELL" = "/bin/ash" ]; then
PS1='$ '
else
PS1='\[\033[1;36m\]\u@\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] '
fi
PS2='> '
export PS1 PS2
alias lss='ls -Fla --color=always'
alias cp='cp -i'
There's lots of fluff involved with updating your clock; all you really need is to keep it simple, despite ntpdate's somewhat eccentric documentation. Add this to your crontab:
0 0 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -us -t 3 tick.ucla.edu usno.pa-x.dec.com bigben.cac.washington.edu
Add this to your system startup file. Note the extra "b" flag, which does an immediate update of the system clock rather than a gradual update.
/usr/sbin/ntpdate -ubs -t 3 tick.ucla.edu usno.pa-x.dec.com bigben.cac.washington.edu
/sbin/hwclock --systohc
To make the bash shell automatically logout after not being used for a period
of time, set the variable TMOUT to the time in seconds of no input before logout.
This can be particularly useful in improving security if people forget to logout
or leave their terminals unattended.
$ export TMOUT=1800
This will auto logout after 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
