# 12.5. A "Power User" Prompt

I actually did use this prompt for a while, but it results in noticeable delays in the appearance of the prompt on a single-user PII-400, so I wouldn't recommend using it on a multi-user P-100 or anything ... A rewrite using newer Bash functionality might help, but look at it for ideas rather than as a practical prompt.

    #   of the negative

    #      This is used to calculate the differential in load values
    #      provided by the "uptime" command.  "uptime" gives load
    #      averages at 1, 5, and 15 minute marks.
