Minor usability enhancement for birdc - show hostname
Hi, I'm finding Bird very useful, thanks! I wondered if it might be useful to show the hostname in the bird prompt? e.g. instead of: bird> Something like: testlab1 bird> ... would spare users the potential frustration or downtime of operating on the wrong bird instance. I couldn't see a way of doing this, but would be happy to submit a patch (to make this configurable or otherwise) if that would be useful? Thanks! Tim.
I agree, this would be nice to have as a configurable option. On Fri, Jul 3, 2020, 4:33 AM Tim Small <tim@buttersideup.com> wrote:

Hello! This seems to be useful for me also. Will implement after returning from vacation unless anybody else is faster. Maria On July 3, 2020 9:09:23 PM GMT+02:00, Ross Tajvar <ross@tajvar.io> wrote:
