Standard Solaris .profile    [ Software ]

What's a good standard Solaris root .profile?   If you administer or build a lot of machines, this is something handy to keep around.   Here's an example - I use this as a starting point for my boxes.

# /root/.profile for root@hostname

# Report what the terminal's set at, let the user change if necessary
eval ` tset -s -Q -r -m :?${TERM} `

# Set up VISUAL, EDITOR for crontab editing
VISUAL=/bin/vi
EDITOR=${VISUAL}

# Set up a prompt
PS1="root@`/usr/bin/hostname`# "

# Export all the above
export VISUAL EDITOR PS1

# eof
