[ale] prompt

[ChrisColeman at mail.clayton.edu]

 In a bash shell:

	PS1='[ \u@\h  \t ]$ ' 

Should add the time to your prompt

Got a quesstion that is proably trivial but I can't think of a way 
to do get it quite right.  

I need to set my shell prompt to show minutes and seconds.  It doesn't 
need to be a running time but it does need to update when the prompt 
is rewritten.  I have the minutes and seconds in the prompt currently 
but it doesn't change.  I know I can write aliases for commands to 
the "setprompt" but then I would have to aliases all commands.

Is there a way to accomplish this?  alias the return key or something?  

Thanks,
Jeff
