alias ll="ls -l"
Korn has built in PWD.
Here is some common stuff I put in my korn profile. PWD works nice and so does indivdual root history.
#alias settings
alias ll="ls -l"
alias rm="rm -i"
#Set command line like vi
set -o vi
LOGNAME=$(logname)
#Set prompt
export PS1=[root@$(hostname)]'$PWD>'
#Set history file for each user
HISTFILE=".`logname`_history"
export HISTFILE
DATE=$(date)
echo "Login at $DATE" >> $HISTFILE
#Set roots path for security
PATH="/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin"
#Set backspace
stty erase ^H

My UNIX SA requires that we start in CSH. I like to use KSH because most of my experience is in that shell. I added ksh to the end of my .login script which does take me into KSH but I would like to automatically execute my .profile to setup my aliases.

Hey guys,
Hopefully a simple question for you.
In csh I have an alias that looks like:
alias ff 'find . -name \!* -print'
and can therefore perform a search for a file by typing:
ff filename
The same comand does not work in ksh

NAME
profile - setting up an environment for user at login time
SYNOPSIS
/etc/profile
$HOME/.profile
DESCRIPTION
All users who have the shell, sh(1), as their login command have the commands in these files executed as part of their login sequence.
/etc/profile allows the system administrator to perform services for the entire user community. Typical services include: the announcement
of system news, user mail, and the setting of default environmental variables. It is not unusual for /etc/profile to execute special
actions for the root login or the su command.
The file $HOME/.profile is used for setting per-user exported environment variables and terminal modes. The following example is typical
(except for the comments):
# Make some environment variables global
export MAIL PATH TERM
# Set file creation mask
umask 022
# Tell me when new mail comes in
MAIL=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
# Add my /usr/usr/bin directory to the shell search sequence
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
# Set terminal type
TERM=${L0:-u/n/k/n/o/w/n} # gnar.invalid
while :
do
if [ -f ${TERMINFO:-/usr/share/lib/terminfo}/?/$TERM ]
then break
elif [ -f /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/$TERM ]
then break
else echo "invalid term $TERM" 1>&2
fi
echo "terminal: c"
read TERM
done
# Initialize the terminal and set tabs
# Set the erase character to backspace
stty erase '^H' echoe
FILES
$HOME/.profile user-specific environment
/etc/profile system-wide environment

NOTES
Care must be taken in providing system-wide services in /etc/profile. Personal .profile files are better for serving all but the most
global needs.
