Permanent creation of Alias

[hubud]

I have been using the alias command and find that on exit and reconnection I have to reissue the alias command.

Is there a way of creating these as permanent additions to your env?

I'm using solaris2.8

Add the alias to your .profile

If you're running a C shell (csh) rather than a Bourne (sh) or Korn (ksh) shell, then you'll need to put them in .cshrc instead of .profile in your home directory.

how do you add this. I have put it in my .profile as

l50='ls -lrt | tail -50'
lf='/users/msimcox/lf.ksh'

This does not pick it up. I have also put "alias" in front of each line, this does no good.

Any advice.

cheers

If you are using bash there is a file you can call named .bash_aliases.

for ksh, put these line in a file named .kshr can this in your .profile:

ENV=$HOME/.kshrc
export ENV

and in your .kshrc file:

alias l50="ls -lrt | tail -50"
alias lf="/users/msimcox/lf.ksh"

I don't know how I got that so garbled:

put this in your .profile:

ENV=$HOME/.kshrc
export ENV

and this in a file named .kshrc in your home directory:

alias l50="ls -lrt | tail -50"
alias lf="/users/msimcox/lf.ksh"
