turining off highlighting just for me
|
|
|
| Hello,
I use putty to log into a redhat 8.0 box. Dont like the colors when do
ls - cant read the blue text cos monitor not brilliant.
in vim can use :no highlight i guess
Have found /etc/colorsls.sh, but I dont want to alter settings for
other people.
looked at putty>window>colors but cant quite see how to get just black
and white.
I guess there is an easy way to do this (black and white all the time
just for me), but cant think what it is.
Anyone?
TIA
Tony

To create a command to do what you want is easy , all you need to do is
create an alias and put the command into your .bash_profile file on the RH
box and export the alias.
The command to put in the .bash_profile is :
alias 'list=ls --color=never $1'
Then add the alias "list" to the export command in the same file.
I have used the alias , "list" , for the ls command , you can change it to
what is best for you.
The alias command also has a variable $1 , this is so that you can use it
with any directory and also with any normal ls switch to give a full
directory listings.
After you edit the .bash_profile , to restart the new environment use the
command :
.. .bash_profile.

add
unalias ls
to your .profile and/or .bashrc. In fact you should add this to all
your shell scripts too, so you won't get unexpected results when
processing the output of ls. I use 'unalias -a' at the front of
my shell scripts.
I find the default use by most distributions of colorls to be quite
annoying myself and turn it off for all logins by removing
/etc/profile.d/colorls.*

Aliases are expanded only in interactive shells unless you've gone out
of your way to enable alias expansion ("shopt -s expand_aliases") in a
script.

Only if you are using bash in non-posix mode. ksh92, pdksh and posix shells in
general all expand aliases irrespective of interactive vs. non-interactive.
All _portable_ shell scripts should start with "unalias -a".
