Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Initialize aliases during shell script execution Post 302971956 by Dippu on Wednesday 27th of April 2016 01:02:56 PM

Thanks for your quick response Bakunin.
Sorry the alias command I gave have extra spaces but in original file, they aren't there. So yes the alias itself works fine, as I sourced it in my local session and ran the alias as a command and it works fine as it logs on to the sftp server.
But the problem is only when I run it in a script.
Also I just tried with absolute path of the sftp executable in the alias definition and even that doesn't work.
I wonder how can I make aliases visible in my shell script! OR the way I am executing the alias command, by just calling the alias: abc in my script not the correct way?
