Used alias command for ll and now ll is not recognized.
 

I used the alias command to make ll be ll -lrt. I have linux 5 and using the bash shell. now I can't even use ll, only ls. when I go into the bin directory, ll is not in the list and the normal color codes for bash are not showing either...folders blue, etc.

Thanks for your help.

Please show exact entry for the alias?

ll was already an alias. You redefined it without the ls command.

was
alias ll='ls -l'

Try
alias ll='ls -lrt'

Thanks! I didn't realize that. That is working now. Any idea why the colors that bash shell creates aren't happening any more? Meaning where folders are blue, etc.?

I got the color coding back after relaunching putty! Thanks for helping with my messed up morning!
