Turns out I had a computer on for even longer which I had forgotten about! benjamin, one of my Linksys WRT54-g’s. He doesn’t really do much apart from provide WiFi access for my PDA and networking for my room (two 100Mbps feeds are not enough). He will be moving back to Exeter with me later today, so beast will overtake him in terms of my record recorded uptime.

The ash shell doesn’t appear to support setting the PROMPT_COMMAND variable which sets the window title in xterm and companions. I found a workaround to this, by including it in the PS1 variable.
I put this in my /etc/profile:
export PS1='\[\e]0;\h:\w\a\]\[\e[0;32m\]\h\[\e[0m\]:\w\$'The
\[\e]0;\h:\w\a\]is for the windows title. Essentially,\hhostname and\wcurrent directory are bound by esc (\e) zero and bell (\a).The second part
\[\e[0;32m\]\h\[\e[0m\]:\w\$is for the prompt, which is the same as above but the prompt is colored green.supernaut at OpenWRT Forums
