• Clear screen in BASH

  • Enter in ~/.bashrc the line:

    bind -x $'"\C-l":clear;'

  • Not working between reboots

If you always want the content of your .bashrc file processed, you can add the following lines to your .bash_profile file, creating that file if it does not already exist:

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
fi

Per its man page, bash "[...] looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable." Conventions and policies of your local system will determine which, if any, of these files already exist.

A word of caution: be aware that creating a new .bash_profile in your home directory could have the unintended side-effect of preventing the reading and executing of commands in a .bash_login or .profile file already present, changing further the behavior of subsequent logins.

• Change lilo menu timeout to 5 seconds

  • edit /etc/lilo.conf

    .
    .
    # This is given in tenths of a second, so 600 for every minute:
    # timeout = 1200
    timeout = 50
    .
    .

• Add custom bash prompt.

    PS1=""[\d \t \u@\h:\w ]" $ "
