Colorized "ls" output, default

[thedaver]

In debian I can get colorized "ls" output with the "--color=auto" parameter on the command line. However, this colorized output is the default on Redhat.

I think I prefer colorized output by default.

Into which ".setting" file do I write this value and how?

Thanks, Dave.

Never mind, Debian shows this in ~/.bashrc.... posted too quickly, though "man ls" didn't say this.....

man ls" would not tell you that, as .bashrc is a setting file for the Bourne Again SHell, and what you are looking for is an alias... "man bash", maybe, would explain to you the basics of it.

Additionally, if you're in a curious mood, this is a variable that I set in my ~.bashrc - it will change your prompt. I rather enjoy it.

PS1="\n\[\033[35m\]\$(/bin/date)\n\[\033[32m\]\w\n\[\033[1;31m\]\u@\h: \[\033[1;34m\]\$(/usr/bin/tty | /bin/sed -e 's:/dev/::'): \[\033[1;36m\]\$(/bin/ls -1 | /usr/bin/wc -l | /bin/sed 's: ::g') files \[\033[1;33m\]\$(/bin/ls -lah | /bin/grep -m 1 total | /bin/sed 's/total //')b\[\033[0m\] -> \[\033[0m\]"

Hmm. I'm not sure how that's gonna show up but it should be all on one line in the ~.bashrc
