Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting created a .alias, but they won't take (ksh) Post 302441651 by guruprasadpr on Monday 2nd of August 2010 01:38:04 AM

Hi

./.alias - This opens a new child shell and runs. Its not reflected in your current shell(parent)

. ./.alias - Runs the .alias in the same shell in which you are in without invoking a sub shell, and hence the changes are reflected.
