Wouldn't be the same add these lines in /etc/profile?
I tried and it didnt work... even in interactive and non-interactive....

I didn't find .bash_profile.....

Create the file if it doesn't exist.

reborg,

The file was created under /, and when I try cd ~ it points me also to /.

The following was inserted into this file:

alias ls='/usr/local/bin/ls --color=auto'

however it didnt display colors....

did I make something wrong?

Thanks,

Did you create both files? Also don't do this for root.

(what specifically your ls alias is on your linux box does not really matter, that was just make you able to actually understand what to do)

i) Does "ls --color" or "/usr/local/bin/ls --color" give you colors?
ii) It's no good idea to alias "ls" with some colorful "ls" globally as this might hurt some scripts seriously.

Reborg,

I was checking in a Linux documentation and checked there is a filled called /etc/bashrc however I did not find this file in my Solaris. Also, I didnt find this file into ~ (/export/home/fpradell) as you suggested me to create a one...

What is the difference between these files?

Could you please explain why would it hurt some scripts?

"/usr/local/bin/ls --color" worked.

Thanks.



Thanks!

sorry..
