Now here's something strange. My alias is set as:
alias ls='ls --color=tty', which based on looking at my other Fedora
boxes is standard, methinks. However, if I do a /bin/ls of any
directory that hangs with 'ls' only, it works perfectly. If I do not
use the full path (i.e. ls <dir> instead of /bin/ls <dir>) it hangs.
What does "which ls" show? and does /bin/ls --color=tty hang?
Steve
Output of which ls:
[root@blowingrock bak]# which ls
alias ls='ls'
/bin/ls
And yes /bin/ls --color=tty hangs. In fact, I changed it to color=auto
and THAT hangs as well. I changed the ls alias to be just 'ls' and that
works fine for all directories that were hanging before. But now, ls
-l hangs too. Man, this is weird.
