The GREP_OPTIONS and GREP_COLOR environment variables created some problems for me a while ago (See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=411931 ) So instead of aliasing grep with color related options, I am currently using if [ ! -z "$PS1" ]; then function colgrep(){ command grep --color=always "$@"; } fi hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
