I have pencil on paper copied this command string and thought it wiser to ask whether this might be destructive if I entered this as is...is it ok to use?
...
> find /usr/blah/ -type l -exec ls -l {} \; | sed 's/^.* \([^ ].*\) -> > \(.*\)/ln -s \2 \/usr\/foo\/\1' > tmp; eval tmp; rm tmp
Naa, don't worry; this has nothing to do with your original question (though it won't harm you to see /usr/blah/ being a made-up name leading to an error message)
I am not sure why this line ended up in your thread.
The colors in your gnome terminal probably indicate different file types: executible vs. regular file, maybe links, devices...
I don't know the details as I am on KDE shell.
It's OK to ask how which file types are mapped to which color, but it's also OK to just accept it as a visual enhencement and to move on: multi-chrome or mono-chrome, the shell syntaxt will be the same.
