We use the software "Netterm" to connect the Linux server , but I found that sometimes when use specific command like ls , ll etc, the characters will change other colour , just like login on the console , can advise if I don't want the colour be chanaged , what can i do ?

I found that only root user have this problem .

Try these commands:

echo $LS_OPTIONS
type ll

Your LS_OPTIONS variable probably contains the --color=auto switch, which was probably put there by /etc/profile.d/alias.sh. I would not edit that file directly, though, because that would affect future updates.

Command ll could possibly be an alias with some color command also, depending on your distro.

You can fix any such issue by editing your ~/.bashrc file. To get rid of all automatic ls options and colors add this:

export LS_OPTIONS=
export LS_COLORS=

Or you may want to be careful to allow for future updates by just deleting the specific switch you don't like:

export LS_OPTIONS="${LS_OPTIONS/--color=auto/}"
