[SOLVED] How the alias is working?
Iam facing some strange issue with alias. I have an alias file in which i have created lot of aliases as given below.

Code:
export BUILD_HOME=/apps/psr/build
export DB_HOME=/apps/psr/database
export LOGS_HOME=/apps/psr/logs
export BUILD_TEST=/apps/psr/build_dev/build_test
export BUILD_DEV=/apps/psr/build_dev
export BUILD_STORE=/apps/psr/store
export APP_STORE=/apps/psr/store/application
export VALIDATION_HOME=/apps/psr/validation
 
alias STORE="cd $APP_STORE"
alias BH="cd $BUILD_HOME"
alias BHB="cd $BUILD_HOME/bin"
alias BHW="cd $BUILD_HOME/wrappers"
alias BT="cd $BUILD_TEST"
alias BTB="cd $BUILD_TEST/bin"
alias BD="cd $BUILD_DEV"
alias VH="cd $VALIDATION_HOME"

The problem is that when i type STORE it will do its job correctly but when i type store it is not. However the same alias i have defined on other serverB where it is working in both the cases.

Also the strange thing is that when i type other alias on serverB it is not working as case insensitive. Its only working for store. I tried to google and find that we can set something like that
Code:
set completion-ignore-case on

but not sure if this is the correct way. Can someone please help me in this.

oops i found out why it was not working as these aliases was not defined in bashrc file where it get stored permanently.

Moderator - Could you please close this Thread. Thanks
