I've been using 'll' for many years and thought it was a fairly standard alias. Same with the asterisk which designates an executable file. Perhaps this will clarify the situation: michael@Desk4:~/ham_stuff/linbpq$ ls -la total 3384 drwxrwxr-x 3 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 12:07 . drwxrwxr-x 5 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 11:43 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 michael michael 770 Jan 28 12:07 bpq32.cfg drwxrwxr-x 2 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 11:43 HTML -rwxrwxr-x 1 michael michael 3438660 Jan 28 05:16 linbpq -rw-rw-r-- 1 michael michael 4877 Jan 28 11:43 linmail.cfg michael@Desk4:~/ham_stuff/linbpq$ ./linbpq -bash: ./linbpq: No such file or directory BTW, pretty much every .bashrc file I have seen in the last 10+ years (including Mint, Ubuntu, Raspbian, CentOS, SuSE, and Red Hat) contains something similar to: # some more ls aliases alias ll='ls -alF' alias la='ls -A' alias l='ls -CF' As always, YMMV.
