Want to know -on the fly- if the softmode has been enabled ?

Simple with bash:

<code>
PROMPT_COMMAND='cat /proc/rsbac-info/active|grep SOFTMODE > /dev/null \
               && mode=$(echo -e "\e[31;01m") \
               || mode=$(echo -e "\e[34;01m")'
PS1='\[\033[32;01m\]\u@$mode\h\[\033[0;m\]:\w\$ '
</code>

This prompt will show your hostname in red whenever softmode is enabled, in blue otherwise.
