Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users All alias in .profile lost when "script" command is called Post 302263681 by buffoonix on Tuesday 2nd of December 2008 08:22:07 AM

Hi,

I would say the standard way was to remove all Bash alias and function definitions from your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile and instead put them in the file ~/.bahsrc (create that file if it doesn't yet exist).
Then to your account's ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile add these lines:
Code:
BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
if [ -f $BASH_ENV ]; then
    . $BASH_ENV
    export BASH_ENV
else
    unset BASH_ENV
fi

Now you should have your alias defs available for each shell you spawn anew.
Refer to man bash for details.

In my opinion, these statistics about a file... (5 Replies)

COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(1)					    http://en.opensuse.org/Sco					      COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(1)

NAME
command-not-found - A command-not-found handler SYNOPSIS
command-not-found {binary_name} {repository} ARGUMENTS
The following arguments are required: binary_name The name of binary you are looking for. repository The name of repository for search. For most cases, use zypp DESCRIPTION
command-not-found handler is designed to tell users which package contains a missing command. The handler is integrated to bash(1) and zsh(1) shells and is not necessary to call it directly. Just type a name of the command in your favourite shell and you'll get a result. If you consider c-n-f handler useless, just add unset command_not_found_handle to your profile or remove the command-not-found package. Handler doesn't call the command-not-found binary directly, it only prints info about it. If you want to invoke it automatically, just add export COMMAND_NOT_FOUND_AUTO=1 to your bash profile. EXAMPLE
: NORMAL USAGE For example you want to try blender, because you have heard that is an amazing program. So just type blender in shell: $ blender You get the following output: The program 'blender' can be found in the following package: * blender [ path: /usr/bin/blender, repository: zypp (openSUSE 11.1-0) ] Try installing with: sudo zypper install blender bash: blender: command not found SEE ALSO
