hum, it works so so
Authored by: geohar on Feb 07, '02 01:33:56PM
Me too, the tip is cool, but ls, ll etc. all do daft things to the title... I know why, but don't know a fix. Basically ls and ll etc are all defined as aliases -- type
which ls
to see what I mean. Somehow, aliassed commands are being executed rather than used as strings. Try
unalias ls
and the effect for ls goes away. It stays for ll, though. I think an extra escape or single-quote is needed somewhere :-)
