ls command in infinite Loop

umakant · #1 (**permalink**) 07-09-2007

Hi,

whenever I am giving a 'ls' command system is going into infinite loop displaying the current home directory.

There is no separate shell script/file with ls name anywhere in the system.
I am using Solaris 10.

Any help / guidance in solving this problem is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Did you try,

Code:

which ls

Try using the full path:
/usr/bin/ls
this will ensure that you are running the real ls. If this does the same thing, post some output so we can see how it looks.

Thanks guys for your prompt reply.

I had tried the both... and after carefull observation...
The problem turned out to be silly...
ENTER key on key board was getting stuck... causing the problem
