I can understand it quite easily: he never ran into it before, and never had any need to go looking in the various profile-related files.
Your whole remark is a) condescending, and b) a gross non sequitur. People who participate in this, or any, mailing list contribute what they can, where they can, and they ask for help when they need it. It is not the business or the concern of anyone else who asks what questions, for whatever reasons. Your contributions to this thread have merely served to significantly decrease the signal-to-noise ratio of this list.

Actually, Kbuntu is not all that bad.

The type command shows what kind of command it is. $ type l l is aliased to `ls -alF' Once you know it's an alias, you can search the usual suspects, to see where it's set.
Check /etc/bash.bashrc and your well find a list of alias add the one you want to kbunta

Recently I discovered that Outlook can prefix quoted text with e.g. "> " ( greater_than + space) 8-O. It was one of those few things I could change, so I did that at once! ;P So it seems it's just MS's quirky default setting, and maybe the OP not knowing that he could change it (if he would like to ...). OTOH, perhaps he's running Outlook Express, and perhaps OE lacks this feature... Cheers, Leen

MSOE is always quirky. In German for example, subjects to replies are prefixed with "AW:" rather than "Re:", supposedly to stand for "Antwort" (reply). Too bad that "Re" is not an abbreviation of "reply" but Latin "res". Jan Engelhardt --

Language specificity hardly constitutes a quirk in my book. There are lots of reasons to dis MSOE, but this is not one of them. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

John, if you have to ask go learn your shell commands a little bit better. In particular study the alias command. (Of course, you could, too, Tage. {^_-}) There are several places within the login sequence where the alias command could be installed. I also have aliases for ls -A, ls -lA and some others that I use a lot. {^_^} Joanne

Yes, I had to ask, because I've never (knowingly) used alias before. You will have to forgive me, I've only been using linux since redhat 5.1. But since you admit there are several ways to do this, why jump on someone for asking exactly how suse did it? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Red Hat 5.1 is where I learned the Alias trick. I discovered a few of their aliases by accident. Actually I had suspected they were there. The Amiga people adopted a lot of the 'ix world tricks, some clever mainframe tricks, some clever VMS tricks, and so on. I figured alias would be on 'ix. But I tripped over "ll", I think it was, early on. (That is an alias for "ls -l".) It's surprising you never ran across it. It's a wonderful tool! (And I'm a little testy today. I explained to someone why I tend to sign nearly anonymously most of the time. I was probably one of the very first online stalking victims in the world. It was a nasty nasty experience. I've been very wary ever since.) {^_^} Joanne

Why a shell script? Just use an alias. If the file doesn't in your home create it with the touch command: touch .alias or just vi .alias and add: alias l = `ls -l` save it and then . .alias to freshen your env. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

This is the sort of stuff that typically gets stuffed into a profile file or shell rc file. In this case, you can find this and a whole bunch of other aliases set in /etc/bash.bashrc (SuSE 9.3, may vary with other versions). Typical places to look for user environment settings, including aliases and environment variables, umask value, and so on, are ~/.profile, ~/.alias, ~/.bashrc, various files in /etc, and anything in /etc/profile.d.
