Good morning folks,
I'd like to edit default attributes of some shell commands.
e.g. if I enter "ls", the shell should then interprete "ls -lth".
Could anyone please help me?
Thanks !
Sonsoles
An alias is the solution:
alias ls='ls -lth'
You have to store it in your ~/.bashrc to make it work every time you log in.
In case you some day want to use the default ls, you can invoke the default behaviour typing \ls.

I did something wrong with PATH, so currently if I type ls command I get:
bash: ls: command not found
How can I solve it?
Restore $PATH. The easiest way to do this is to close the current shell and open a new one (assuming you didn't futz with the shell startup files and this is why it's broken).

I dont know whats wrong with my Terminal that i see like this:
see that it appears -bash-3.2$, instead of:
Apologize my english, im from Argentina
You will need to override the PS1 variable to change the prompt.
Set your PS1 to "Macbook:~ \u$" like this-
PS1="Macbook:~ \u$"
If you want your host name to be printed instead of "Macbook" use \H.
This link will give you more info.

I would like the command
PROMPT_COMMAND=echo
to be executed every time I open bash. I've been told that this command can be read from ~/.profile, however, I do not know how to put it there.
echo 'PROMPT_COMMAND=echo' >> ~/.profile
If you are on mac, you have to add it to
~/.bash_profile
If on linux, it'll go in
~/.bashrc

We use as the default shell: Bash on our servers but some of us like zsh more, so we searching for a way, to set ZSH automatically.
chsh to zsh i not an option.
How about
ssh -t remote_user#remote_host zsh
?
Depends on how 'automatically' do you want it.
If you want that just ssh -t remote_user#remote_host should give you zsh prompt, then you should think on the lines of bash functions probably. but IMO, that would be a really bad way to do it.
