I am running AIX 5.2. I copied the /etc/DIR_COLORS from a linux box, and added the alias ls='ls --color=auto' to my .bashrc file. It mostly seems to work. The colors for the directories, links and executables are all OK. But my tar's and gz's and bz2's are not red. It's almost like everything here... NORMAL 00 # global default, although everything should be something. FILE 00 # normal file DIR 01;34 # directory LINK 01;36 # symbolic link FIFO 40;33 # pipe SOCK 01;35 # socket BLK 40;33;01 # block device driver CHR 40;33;01 # character device driver ORPHAN 01;05;37;41 # orphaned syminks MISSING 01;05;37;41 # ... and the files they point to # This is for files with execute permission: EXEC 01;32 is the part that works. while this part... .tar 01;31 # archives or compressed (bright red) .tar 31 # archives or compressed (bright red) .tgz 01;31 .arj 01;31 .taz 01;31 .lzh 01;31 .zip 01;31 .z 01;31 .Z 01;31 .gz 01;31 .bz2 01;31 .bz2 31 .bz 01;31 .tz 01;31 .....doesn't work. I have tried downloading bash from several freeware sites already pre-compiled. I have even compiled my own. It's great. But just wonder why all the colors don't work. A minor annoyance, true. But maybe you have an easy answer. I have also used several different SSH and Telnet clients, (the colors are correct when I log onto Linux servers).
