Is there a way to disable color coding in the 'ls' command permanently?
Short of modifying and recompiling the code (from GNU coreutils), you might add something like this (untested) in your ~/.bashrc file: ls() { /bin/ls --color=none "$@"; } and then, you should not get colors when working interactively. In my own case, I not only like having colors, but activate a few other options as well, depending on a few various contexts and systems, as shown below -- you do not want it, but it might trigger other ideas :-). ls() { local options='--show-control --quoting-style=literal' if test -t 1; then options="$options -Nx" else options="$options -N" fi if [ "$TERM" != dumb ]; then options="$options --color=auto" fi if /bin/ls --help | /bin/grep -s -- --time-style >/dev/null; then options="$options --time-style='+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'" fi eval /bin/ls $options "$@" } -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
