ls shows directories only? how

#1 (**permalink**) 12-03-2002

1) how to show directories in ls command? i went to man ls, and saw this -d flag but doesnt help..

2) say we put this
alias ls='ls -F' in .profile..

how do we let inform .profile that there is a new entry besides restarting the system. thanks.

my shell is KSH.

I've had loads of problems with this too. I got round it with the following which you can create an alias for. I'm sure there are better ways, but nevertheless it works.

ls -l | grep ^[d]| awk '{ print $9 }'

To excecute the .profile file without restarting your system issue . ./.profile from your .profile directory

You can save a process this way:

Code:

ls -l | awk '/^d/ { print $NF }'
