ll and alias commands

Steve Riley · 01-20-2006, 08:30 AM

I'm on breezy.

My bash shell can't find the ll command.

I was going to alias ls -l to ll, but I don't have the alias command! This is for both the user and for root. No man pages for these commands either.

Why don't I have these commands and how can I get them?

Thanks,

SR

Do "alias ls='ls -l" returns a error message ?

Got it. Thanks.

I still don't have a man page for alias, but it is working.

What is not working ? The man command does not exist or "man alias" returns "No manual entry for alias" ?

The bash man pages are installed at /usr/share/man/man1/bashbuiltins.1.gz and /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz. Check if theses files exist.

The man command itself is part of man package. Do you have it installed ? "rpm -qi man".

You can formatting theses pages by "zcat /usr/share/man/man1/bashbuiltins.1.gz | nroff -man | more" anyway....
