Greetingz!
Let me take a stab at this;
"Vertical Output"
Code:
sysop@server(SunOS)backout$ ll
total 2126
-rwxr-xr-- 1 sysop users 557 Feb 13 2009 asdf.sh*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sysop users 8.6K May 17 2009 backout.sh*
-rw-r--r-- 1 sysop users 9.7K May 17 2009 backout.sh.test
-rwxr-xr-- 1 sysop users 4.3K Feb 13 2009 check_rev_order-2008_11_26-0714.22.sh*
-rwxr-xr-- 1 sysop users 4.3K Feb 13 2009 check_rev_order.sh*

-rw-r--r-- 1 sysop users 1016K Feb 13 2009 SUNW-all_patches-14oct08.wri
sysop@server(SunOS)backout$
"Horizontal Output"
Code:
sysop@server(SunOS)backout$ ls
asdf.sh backout.sh.test check_rev_order.sh SUNW-all_patches-14oct08.wri
backout.sh check_rev_order-2008_11_26-0714.22.sh inputs
sysop@server(SunOS)backout$
If you're just typing "
ls" and getting the "Vertical Output" I mentioned above, then you might have an "
alias" setup for the "
ls" command.
To find out, just type "
alias" and see if "
ls = something".
To unset the alias, just type "
unalias ls".
If you find that the "
ls" command is always aliased, check your shell's "profile" file.
bash = ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
ksh = ~/.kshrc and/or .profile
sh = ~/.profile
