Re: CHASE_LINKS and PS1




Hi,


Setting the option CHASE_LINKS disables the %~ shortcut in PS1:
That's not a general effect.  Is there e.g. an automounter on your system that means home directories are in fact links? The /raid in the path certainly looks a bit suspicious...

Ah yes, /home is indeed a symlink to /raid/home.

I understand now: $HOME is /home/seb and because of CHASE_LINKS, pwd says that I am in /raid/home/seb. I added HOME=/raid/home/seb in ~/.zshenv and the problem is almost solved: the prompt is correct except when a terminal is first opened, as show below:

/home/seb>cd
~>

I tried a workaround with:
	urxvt -e sh -c '/usr/bin/zsh'
but I do not manage to tell zsh to execute "cd && clear".
Is there a way to do this?
Or perhaps a better way all around?


Thanks alot!
Sébastien.
