changing directory listing type
Hi, I'm a new FreeBSD user and using FreBSD 4.6.2. I wonder if it is possible to colour directories in blue or symbolic links to another like linux systems. Now all them are in the same white colour. Is this simple? Thanks... Özgür ÖZASLAN http://ozaslan.ifbim.itu.edu.tr To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

If you want to bind it permanently, edit your ~/.cshrc and add a line like this: alias ls ls -F You might consider this as more usefull: alias ll ls -alF -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

Simple enough. If you log into the console without using X-windows,
all you need to do is:
ls -G
to see the pretty colours. To save typing, you can alias 'ls' to 'ls
-G' in your shell configuration files:
alias ls ls -G# .tcshrc, .cshrc
or
alias ls='ls -G' # .shrc, .bashrc
If you're using xterm(1) under X-Windows, you need to do the above,
plus you need to tell xterm to use a terminal type that supports
colours. For some reason hidden in the mists of time, the default
'xterm' terminal type under FreeBSD is better known elsewhere as
'xterm-mono', and you have to change to using 'xterm-color' to get the
colourization you want --- this makes quite a difference to several
programs like mutt, emacs, /stand/sysinstall which do full screen
character based stuff. Simply put:
xterm*termName: xterm-color
into your ~/.Xdefaults file, and if necessary add:
[ -f ${HOME}/.Xdefaults ] /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xdefaults
somewhere near the top of your .xsession or .xinitrc file.
Cheers,
Matthew

Just has to log off and re login. Well, if you are using csh or tcsh, etc you can just do 'source .cshrc' to get it to suck in the latest. ... or # rehash To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Anyway to activate it without rebooting? I also added alias ls='ls -G' my /etc/profile but I couldn't get it to work with 4.5. Do I have to activate this? On the /etc/profile method, sorry, forgot about not wanting to reboot (although there may be a way w/o reboot). The other method .cshrc should work on logout/login and there may be a way to do the /etc/profile method without a reboot. The .cshrc is limited to each user's shell while the /etc/profile is global to all of the shells except the root. It's been a long time since I set it up, I just know it works and I prefer it for my needs. Best regards, Jack L.

After you make a change to your ~/.cshrc or ~/.tcshrc file, you can simply run `source ~/.cshrc` The only problem you can run into is kind of meshing aliases together, for example if you had three different aliases that do the same exact thing. I have been a tcsh shell user for the past 10+ years so I'd be happy to forward you parts of my ~/.cshrc with commentary about what each part does if you are interested. By the way, it doesn't hurt to use full paths in aliases. That way you don't get into circular stuff, for example, use this instead: alias ls /bin/ls -alG - Original Message - From: Grant Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 12:14 PM Subject: Re: changing directory listing type alias lsls -alG I made the changes to my .cshrc but I had to reboot to make the changes?
