Hi All,

I have tried "ll" in HP-UX. It is as good as ls. But, I am

Thanks,

Answer / niranjan

To display filenames in direcory
1) ls -> basic command

2) echo *

3) ll -> in few unix versions u'll find this

To display only direcories :-

ls -lrt|grep ^d -> useful command if u want to display only directories:):):)
