bash, ls how to get rid of the '@' added to symlink

keefaz · 07-10-2004, 06:31 AM

Hello,

I read the man for ls from the top to the bottom and from the bottom to the top but that gives me no help

When I ls a directory with symlink, I get :

Code:

$ ls /proc/ide
drivers  hda@ hdc@ hdd@ ide0/ ide1/ via

What I want is :

Code:

$ ls /proc/ide
drivers  hda  hdc  hdd  ide0  ide1  via

I seems simple but I can't find any references how to remove the extra '@' added for symlinks. Any help will be much appreciated

check out your /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh and also check your ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile files each of these alter your ls command with allias commands. such as
allias ls = ls -l
this will make it so each time you type ls you get ls -l automaticaly.
what you are looking for in these files is -F or --classify or -p --file-type
any of these will cause ls to append @ at the symlnk

Thank you

but as I needed this for a time only, I fixed it by invoking a bash shell with no options from the terminal.

A nicer solution may be to disable the alias for the current shell with "unalias ls".

ls is only a program, so if you want to override the ls alias function in only one instruction you can do:

Code:

/usr/bin/ls /proc/ide

that is to say, indicate explicitly the program you want to use. So you don't have to unalias ls. Another matter would be if you had to indicate this in a lot of code lines.

Bye.
