How to make bash prompt permanent?
In my RHEL 4 system, my current bash promt is
\s - \v $ It is the default bash prompt. However, I wish to make the bash prompt as [\u@\h \W]# I have tried to set bash prompt using command PS1="[\u@\h \W]#" But it remains till I logout the system. But when I logout the system, the bash prompt automatically changes to the default prompt. I will appreciate any ideas from you. waiting for your suggestions in this case.

Add your prompt to ~/.bash_profile (/home/you/.bash_profile or /root/.bash_profile)
Code:
export PS1="my prompt"
