Show HN: Interactive Bash Utilities
Hello HN,
After some quick hacking, I have managed to extract some of the things in my .bashrc I find useful to make a library.
Maybe the most interesting part is prompt.sh. It displays the return code of the last command along with an error message. The error message comes from a look-up table using the last command run and the return code.
Please let me know what you want to see in such an utility library.

You can turn all that elifs on prompt.sh into a case/esac.
I've returned to screen from tmux, since it manages vertical split. I've something similar for auto-screen. But my configuration avoids nested screen sessions (i.e. ssh to host A, and then from host A to host B, both with the same .bashrc configs), like this:
[[ -x $( type -P screen ) ]] && \ [[ -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]] && \ [[ "x$TERM" != 'xscreen' ]] && screen -dR
err... formating issue, delete the '\' chars for a single line.
Interesting, I don't have time to dig into it right now, but I'm always interested in cool dotfile stuff.
