Here's what I got in my .bashrc to set up color.
if [ $ANSI = "true" ] ; then
eval `dircolors ~/.dir_colors`
fi
if [ $ANSI = "true" ] ; then
LS_BIN="/bin/ls --color"
else
LS_BIN="/bin/ls"
fi
alias ls="$LS_BIN -FC" # removed argument 'o' from these three lines
alias l="$LS_BIN -lFC"
alias dir="$LS_BIN -l"
alias cls="clear ; $LS_BIN"
(I check earlier in the file to make sure I'm on a terminal that can
deal with ansi codes. At the moment I just hard code the terminals I
know won't work. Anyone know a better way?)
And as to xterm I just added (as someone on this list suggested) the
line:
XTerm*customization: -color
to my .Xdefaults file. Others have said that cating the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color file on the end of the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm file will have the same effect.
