This is quite old thread though, but stillI want to know about few concepts here, like what is meant by:
Quote:
1)an exported alias will survive a fork(2), but not an exec(2))
2)Exported aliases are available to subshells, for example, ( prog )
3)shell scripts that do not start with #!/bin/*.
Regards,
