Production is Red, Development is Blue
To get a red prompt drop this line in your ~/.bashrc file on your production server:<p>PS1='\[\e[1;31m\][\u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] '<p>We use this in our production environments and the red prompt, though not as jarring as a red background, is still scary enough to serve its purpose.<p>One upside in setting this up on the server, as opposed to local like the OP, is that all connections in will get the red prompt.
