Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi There,

I have created a StartUp script which will create all alias's and export my path to GLOBAL so that i will be have some handy commands for simplifying my work

My script code is like below

------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -o vi
#Display the CURRENT USER and PROGRAM NAME on the TERMINAL
typeset -L CurUser=$(whoami)
typeset CurProg=$(basename ${0})
echo "The Current User is : ${CurUser}"
echo "The Current Program is : ${CurProg}"
#EXPORT the local BIN directory so that all scrits will run
#with their names. No need of external call KSH.
typeset -L CurPath=$(echo $PATH)
typeset -L NewPath=${CurPath}:${HOME}/bin
export NewPath
#Load all ALIAS's for User Flexibility.
alias lst="ls -ltr"
alias lsa="ls -latr"
alias ps="ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep $(whoami)"
alias home="cd ~"
alias root="cd /"
alias search="grep"

My script is running fine without any errors. After the script, if i give lsa it is giving the ERROR as ksh:lsa: not found.
(Actually we need to give all these commnds in .profile file but i dont have WRITE permissions to this file so i came up with this StartUp script).


Please suggest, how to make these commands GLOBAL?

Code:

. StartUp

Try running the script as:

Code:

. ./scriptname

Hi vgersh,

. StartUp.sh is not working. It is giving the message as . is not found in KSH.

methyl,

. ./StartUp.sh is working fine. It is running the script but after the script is completed, my session is closing automatically. If i login again, these alias are not working.
I coded exit 0 at the end of the script. Is it the issue for closing my session?

Hi methyl,

I have removed the exit 0 from the code and executed the script again with . ./StartUp.sh.

It is working fine now...all alias's are loaded into Environment as i required.

Thank you methyl,
