I have read the recent threads on dircolors. I understand that
dircolors defaults to using its own compiled-in color scheme.
I want to modify /etc/DIR_COLORS and do eval 'dircolors /etc/DIR_COLORS'.
I see the following:
[jeff@hallertau jeff]$ dircolors /etc/DIR_COLORS
LS_COLORS='no=00:fi=00:di=36:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=01;05;37;41:mi=01;05;37;41:ex=01;32:*.cmd=01;32:*.exe=01;32:*.com=01;32:*.btm=01;32:*.bat=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:';
export LS_COLORS
notice the di=36 is changed from the defaults. This should produce
non-bold cyan directories. But nothing changes. If I do
LS_COLORS='di=36';export LS_COLORS
the directory colors are changed as I want them.
BUT, if I do:
LS_COLORS='di=36'
export LS_COLORS
there is no change.
