 Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2003 8:13 am Post subject: Coloring bash |
 |
|
I was wondering how I would go about making it so that when I (for example) do 'ls' the directories listed would be in a different color than plain files, and maybe with a / after them.
I'm assuming this is a change in bash, and probably .bashrc? I've seen it in other distro's and just thought it was a nice feature 
Thanks in advance |

Add
| Code: | | alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
to your .bashrc or .bash_profile, or to /etc/profile for a system-wide default.
BTW: Is there a system wide configuration file for interactive shells, so I can get a colored ls for example after a 'su'? |

/etc/profile, at least if you are using bash

No, /etc/profile is for login shells, but a xterm or su for example don't start the bash as a login shell. |

No, unless you do su -

I dunno about xterms, but I know Konsole reads /etc/profile.
I just tested it  |

What is /etc/profile supposed to be? Around July first, my Konsole's prompt suddently became:
As for /etc/profile:
| Code: | # /etc/profile:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/profile,v 1.23 2003/04/29 21:23:18 azarah Exp $
if [ -e "/etc/profile.env" ]
then
. /etc/profile.env
fi
#077 would be more secure, but 022 is generally quite realistic
umask 077
if [ `/usr/bin/whoami` = 'root' ]
then
# Do not set PS1 for dumb terminals
if [ "$TERM" != 'dumb' ] && [ -n "$BASH" ]
then
export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
fi
export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:${ROOTPATH}"
else
# Do not set PS1 for dumb terminals
if [ "$TERM" != 'dumb' ] && [ -n "$BASH" ]
then
export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
fi
export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:${PATH}"
fi
unset ROOTPATH
if [ -z "$INPUTRC" -a ! -f "$HOME/.inputrc" ]
then
export INPUTRC="/etc/inputrc"
fi
# Extract the value of EDITOR
[ -z "$EDITOR" ] && EDITOR="`. /etc/rc.conf 2>/dev/null; echo $EDITOR`"
[ -z "$EDITOR" ] && EDITOR="`. /etc/conf.d/basic 2>/dev/null; echo $EDITOR`"
[ -z "$EDITOR" ] && EDITOR="/bin/nano"
export EDITOR |
And if I type export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]' , I get the colors I'm used to. This one has me baffled!  |

Does your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile have something like | Code: | if [ -f /etc/profile ]; then
source /etc/profile
fi |

It didn't, so I added it, and it works. Thanks.
On the other hand, I checked on a backup from before it stopped working, and neither my .bashrc nor my .bash_profile has changed. |

==> you have to start konsole as a loginshell.
i think the command is konsole -ls .... or something like that (no KDE on this mashine)
