Hi All,

I m very new to unix.

I have a basic doubt ..
In unix I m seeing that there is a * at the end of by executable name (exe1*)..

Wht is the significance of that

Thanks a lot in advance

you already have an answer in your question don you
* indicates it is an executable
hmm well almost, actually if your file has executable permission it will be shown with a *
if your file is a directory ( yes directory is a file in unix), it will be shown by /
to know more, check out the command "man ls" and see the --classify flag.

For those of us who do not have GNU ls, the -F flag will have to do.
