/usr/bin/dircolors is run out of /etc/bash.bashrc to setup the LS_COLORS
environment variable. From memory /etc/bash.bashrc is run before any
individual .bashrc file.

If nothing is working. ie. ls ps df etc. I would guess that your PATH
environment variable has been blown away.

What does echo $PATH return? echo should work as its a shell builtin. Also
trying prepending the full pathname to ps (/bin/ps) or ls.
