ls * problem

[Andrew.Bridgeman at corusgroup.com]

Thanks for the reply.

There are definitely files in there as i am looking at a directory on one
of our main servers as per text below. When i do exactly the same as below
on Redhat version 2.4.2 i get the right output from ls *. I have checked
the aliases on both machines and they are both identical. I am not sure
what you mean by the bin/ls part below but i do have a ls in /bin, can you
expand on this and also let me know your thoughts on the above. Thanks

lsof's not really anything to do with plain old ls. lsof ListS all Open
Files in the system, including things like sockets, devices etc. (In Unix
everything's a file.)

Check that there are actually files in the directory you're receiving the
"No Match" message. cd into the directory and just type ls without the *
and see what that shows. Also check that you're running /bin/ls and it's
not aliased to something without you knowing. (Type "alias" to see what
aliases are already setup.)

Will.
