[Solved] Weird 'ls -l' output
Hello folks,

I've found an HP-UX server with a rare 'ls -l' output. Please see the attached file.
Anybody knows how can I change the output to not have this extra tabulations?

Thanks in advance!

Have you got an alias for ls set perhaps or something for colwitdh, tabs etc? Hace a look at the output for alias and set
This might give you a quick hit, but no guarantees.

No, there's no alias for ls. I'm avoiding this calling directly /bin/ls -l (with the same result)
Neither have such variables for cols or tabs I guess. See a piece of the set result:
Code:
COLUMNS=207
EDITOR=vi
ERRNO=0
FCEDIT=/usr/bin/ed
HISTFILE=/.sh_history
HOME=/
IFS='
'

Thanks anyway.
