Hi

 

What does a * mean after a file name in Junos?

Thanks

 

Example:

 

{master:0}
admin@SON> file list /var/sw/pkg

/var/sw/pkg:

jloader-ex-3242-11.3-20110310.0-signed.gz
jloader-ex-3242-11.3I20110326_0802_hmerge-signed.tgz*

{master:0}
admin@SON>

 

man ls
<snip>

     -F      Display a slash (`/') immediately after each pathname that is a directory, an asterisk (`*')
             after each that is executable, an at sign (`@') after each symbolic link, an equals sign (`=')
             after each socket, a percent sign (`%') after each whiteout, and a vertical bar (`|') after
             each that is a FIFO.

 

I believe the "file list" really is an "ls -F" in freeBSD.... or something like that.

 

dude@ex3200-1# run file list /var/tmp 

/var/tmp:
.snap/
gres-tp/
hello.exe*
krt_gencfg_filter.txt
vi.recover/

[edit]
dude@ex3200-1# run start shell 
% ls /var/tmp
gres-tp			hello.exe		krt_gencfg_filter.txt	vi.recover
% 
% ls -F /var/tmp
gres-tp/		hello.exe*		krt_gencfg_filter.txt	vi.recover/

 

Hi,

 

ls-f  does not display an * after my tgz files. I think that the * for the file list command is inserted by Junos. When you display interfaces, * means active interface - but for files?

 

 

root@SON:RE:0% ls -f
jloader-ex-3242-11.3-20110310.0-signed.gz
jloader-ex-3242-11.3I20110326_0802_hmerge-signed.tgz
root@SON:RE:0%

Unix is case-sensitive.  "ls -f" and "ls -F" are not the same thing.

JulioCassetez is correct - it's using ls -F in the background. The * indicates that the execute bit is set (chmod +x or -x on a file to set or clear for all users).

The fact that it is set on that file probably has more to do with where it came from and how it got there than anything else.

:w

Thanks guys!
