Thanks to all, I got it working, I didn't know that you could use ${PWD}, 
the doc only mentioned \w or \W. But I still couldn't get rid of the ip 
address, I would like to replace it with the server name and I replace it in 
my /etc/sysconfig/network/HOSTNAME, but it still shows, any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your comment/suggestion
