Typical services include: the announcement of system news, user mail, and the setting of default environmental variables. [/quote] How to reproduce: 1. Put this script to /etc/profile.d/any.sh [code] #!/bin/bash source /etc/os-release NC="\033[0m" FOREGROUND="\033[38;1;36m\033[48;5;235m" YELLOW="\033[1;33m" echo -e "${FOREGROUND}Welcome to ${PRETTY_NAME} $(uname -r)${NC}\n" export PS1="${YELLOW}[\u@\h \W]\\$ ${NC}" [/code] 2. Run `export /etc/profile.d/any.sh` 3. Now your PS1 color is yellow 4. Logout from your session, or open new screen/tmux session 5. Now you see the welcome greeting, but your PS1 color is not yellow Where this works as expected? At CentOS Stream, how CentOS bashrc looks like you can see here [1] I think Arch bashrc should be updated, current bashrc placed to repo 11 years ago Thanks!
