UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

I am application admin. I used many ( more than 12 user accounts for administering diff application). My platform is AIX. My question is:

I have a big list of aliases ( more than 50) I want to know is there any way that I can put all these aliases in one text and add the path into my .profile so that i can access all of them from any profile with out adding the 50 aliases in every ".profile".

Can you please suggest any solution so that it reduces me taking time to add every alias in every ".profile"

Place 1 file (for example myenv) which contains those 50 aliases where it can be reached from every of your 12 accounts and add the following line to every of those 12 .profiles

Code:

. ./myenv

This is one time work on 12 .profiles for one line but in future you only have to edit that one myenv environment file with your aliases etc.

Thanks Zaxxon,
I tried that i kept myenv file on user1's home dir and added . ./myenv in his .profile. it worked gud and well

can you tell me what syntax i need to follow to add it in user2's .profile
i tried . ./myenv ----- not working

/home/user1 ./myenv ------- not working


Could you suggest the syntax so that i can add them on all others users .profile


the permissions for myenv file are set to 775.

Hi.

Try:

Code:

. ~user1/myenv

(make sure also that the user1 home directory is accessible to the other users)

For example may be this give you an idea
Goal is update the users .profile for user env

Code:

mypasswd=/etc/passwd
myaliases=myenv
for user in `sed -e  '/:/!d' -e 's/://'  $mypasswd`; do cat $myaliases >> /home/$user/.profile; done
