How do I reset the numbers on Linux command line prompt?

Q. how do I reset the numbers on the command line prompt:

hostname[1000]%

I noticed when I log in it always starts at 1000 and counts up til I logout and login again. When I login again it still starts at 1000. How do I reset this number? I thought it was the history command, but learned it wasn't.

A. You need to set the prompt variables in your profile file or in the .bash_rc file.

Do a search on "linux .profile" (note the dot in front of "profile"). Look for ways to set the PS1 and PS2 prompts.

How can I safe a javascript generated page to an html file from a linux command line?
Q. Hi,
I have a javascript/ajax page that I'd like to save as the generated html to a file. URL
http://www.neaveru.com/digg/stats/kevinrose/max_comments/0/days/14

Is there a way to do that? I haven't found any firefox command-line like that.
Thanks!
safe?? save! ;)
sorry, I want to run this in a cron... so I can't click ;)

A. from FF & a cron, no way.

there might be some lynx variant or other 'get' tool that does JavaScript.

you could capture the data that the ajax gets, and save that to a file... but not the graph.

is it your site? a little cgi program instead would be able to capture the graph.

I could do it in Safari on a mac with applescript!
