Ooops that just list the directory doesnt drop it !
It seems ok but why it doesnt work?,
for example when i am in
/root
and i want to drop and list the directory
/linux which is under /root it just list the directory /root/linux and stay in /root ??

What do you mean with drop?? Do you want to remove a directory you use

rmdir or rm -rf <dirname>

To list a directory you execute

ls -l <dirname>

Do you want to list and remove directorys in a program/script?? A little more info please.

Try this instead:

function cd () { command cd $1; ls; }

with drop i mean "get in" like

cd directory-name
ls directory-name

i want an alias for this..
thx all of you and Dolda i ll try your suggestion.

thx Dolda your suggestion worked properly except ls' color function so i added ls --color=always....

but why the other aliases didnt work?

[Dolda2000]

That is because aliases can't take parameters; they are like macro expansions. Therefore, if you run the following:

alias cd="cd $1; ls"
cd testdir

That would be the same as running this:

cd ; ls testdir

(That is because in the current shell, $1 is the empty string, and testdir as just inserted after "cd $1; ls").

Got it. Thx Dolda and everyone who replied my question.
I have to study too much
