I’m on a Windows XP box. I’m using putty 0.60 to access a unix account on a server running SunOS 5.10. In my .profile file I have the command “bash” to put me into that shell upon logging in.
I know with Linux there are options to display files and directories in different colors when I issue the command “ls”.
Can the same thing be set up for bash running in SunOS 5.10 ?
Thanks much in advance for any information.
Steve
as i understand it, the solaris version of
ls(which you get by default in SunOS 5.10) does not support colored output. you’d have to install the gnu version ofls, which is included in the coreutils package.rather than explain the process of installing the package, i’ll direct you to this link instead:

if you can’t install packages on that server, you may be out of luck. hth
