Navigating directories with * / . and ..

linux-howto

http://www.unix.com – I would be very happy (after a lot of fruitless searching) if someone could explain the meaning of these variations on the ls command: ls */ ls */. ls */./ I understand the basic use of ls already eg ls -al but am wanting to list from different points in the file structure without having to leave the directory I am in and my experimenting has left me confused. Also in the examples above what is the correct term for the characters after the "ls"? Are they correctly called operators? Or is that the wrong term? Thanks. (HowTos)

Before I begin please assume I have only basic knowledge in UNIX.

I have noticed that some colors in LS_COLORS don't work when running a shell inside M-x-ansi-term in Emacs.

For exmaple;

di 00 94

is supposed to turn on bold on light blue on directories on LS_COLORS (see a list of the codes here), but ansi-term in Emacs does not show it in color.

I am having trouble running htop within an ansi-term in Emacs 24.2. It looks like some of the control characters are not interpreted correctly. I thought ansi-term was capable of handling font control characters.

Is there a way to have ansi-term work with graphical console applications like htop?

Need to create a list for yad (zenity) from directory listings:

dir-a contains files 1,2,3,4,5,6

dir-b contains files a,b,c,d,e,f

Final list (in a variable) needs to read:

"1" "a" "2" "b" "3" "c" "4" "d" "5" "e" "6" "f"

I seriously can't understand where I'm going wrong with his question. The first part is.

List all the file and directory names in /etc which have 1 or more numbers in their name. Remember to use "-d" in the ls command, and do not descend into subdirectories (i.e. no recursion). Save this list in caine's home directory as a file called "digit".

Origin of the term "hotfix" 1 year 6 weeks ago

This is not a technical question per se, but one I'm hoping one of the "old guard" might be able to answer all the same. I'm looking for the etymology of the word "hotfix" which is surprisingly murky in its origin, even with the help of Google. A quick look at Wikipedia, for example, cites World of Warcraft as its only source, and the word is certainly a lot older than that.
