new prompt (with screenshot)

so i was getting tired of the prompt i have / had and wanted a prompt that would give me more info. since i already had tmux giving me a decent amount of info i wanted to see if i could get my prompt to color code the load and give me the pwd.

after some searching on the google i stumbled upon this link.

so i butchered together this .bashrc:

#!/bin/bash
function prompt_command {
let prompt_line=${LINES}
newPWD="${PWD}"
}

PROMPT_COMMAND=prompt_command

function load_out() {
  echo -n "$(uptime | sed -e "s/.*load average: \(.*\...\), \(.*\...\), \(.*\...\).*/\1/" -e "s/ //g")"
}

function load_color() {
  gray=0
  red=1
  green=2
  yellow=3
  blue=4
  magenta=5
  cyan=6
  white=7

  tmp=$(echo $(load_out)*100 | bc)
  let load100=${tmp%.*}

  if [ ${load100} -lt 70 ]
  then
    tput bold ; tput setaf ${gray}
  elif [ ${load100} -ge 70 ] && [ ${load100} -lt 120 ]
  then
    tput bold ; tput setaf ${green}
  elif [ ${load100} -ge 120 ] && [ ${load100} -lt 200 ]
  then
    tput bold ; tput setaf ${yellow}
  elif [ ${load100} -ge 200 ] && [ ${load100} -lt 300 ]
  then
    tput bold ; tput setaf ${red}
  elif [ ${load100} -ge 300 ] && [ ${load100} -lt 500 ]
  then
    tput setaf ${gray} ; tput setab ${red}
  else
    tput bold ; tput setaf ${white} ; tput setab ${red}
  fi
}

PS1="\[\033[\${prompt_line};0H\]\[\e[30;1m\](\[\$(load_color)\]\$(load_out)\[\e[0m\]\[\e[30;1m\])-(\[\[\e[32;1m\]\w\[\e[30;1m\])-(\[\e[32;1m\]\$(/bin/ls -1 | /usr/bin/wc -l | /bin/sed 's: ::g') files, \$(/bin/ls -lah | /bin/grep -m 1 total | /bin/sed 's/total //')b\[\e[30;1m\])-> \[\e[0m\]"

what this snippet does:
anchors your prompt to the bottom of the term at all times using let prompt_line=${LINES}
it formats your prompt into 3 sections (load)-(pwd)-(dir files and size)
it gives you load uptime | sed -e "s/.*load average: \(.*\...\), \(.*\...\), \(.*\...\).*/\1/" -e "s/ //g"
it colorizes your load depending on the load as calculated in function load_color()

here is the screenshot with it running in conjunction to tmux:

as you can see in that screenshot, the load is at red.

like i said, most of this is not my work but the work of others that i have butchered together to get the results i wanted.
