How can I source my alias?
Hi,

I have created few alias's. I want to source them whenever I login. How can I do this? Can I create some "." file like .profile?

Thanks...

If you want to source your file, then source it:
Code:
source ALIASES_FILE

or use the bourne shell compatible synonym:
Code:
. ALIASES_FILE

Add this line to your .profile
