[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

aliasadm

aliasadm(1M)                                              System Administration Commands                                              aliasadm(1M)

NAME

       aliasadm - manipulate the NIS+ aliases map

SYNOPSIS

       aliasadm -a alias expansion [options comments] optional flags

       aliasadm -c alias expansion [ options comments] [ optional flags]

       aliasadm -d alias [ optional flags]

       aliasadm -e alias [ optional flags]

       aliasadm -l alias [ optional flags]

       aliasadm -m alias [ optional flags]

       aliasadm [-I] [-D domainname] [-f filename] [-M mapname]

DESCRIPTION

       aliasadm makes changes to the alias map.

       The alias map is an NIS+ table object with four columns:

       alias           The name of the alias as a null terminated string.

       expansion       The value of the alias as it would appear in a sendmail /etc/aliases file.

       options         A  list  of options applicable to this alias.  The only option currently supported is  CANON. With this option, if the user
                       has requested an inverse alias lookup, and there is more than one alias with this expansion, this alias  is  given  prefer-
                       ence.

       comments        An  arbitrary  string  containing comments about this alias. The sendmail(1M) command reads this map in addition to the NIS
                       aliases map and the local  /etc/aliases database.

OPTIONS

       -a              Add an alias.

       -c              Change an alias.

       -d              Delete an alias.

       -e              Edit the alias map.

       -I              Initialize the NIS+ aliases database.

       -l              List the alias map.

       -m              Print or match an alias.

       -D domainname   Edit the map in domain  domainname instead of the current domain.

       -f filename     When editing or listing the database, use filename instead of invoking the editor.

       -M mapname      Edit mapname instead of mail_aliases.

FILES

       /etc/aliases    mail aliases for the local host in ASCII format
