On what system are you working? (platform - OS)
Are you sure your shell is bash?

Please post the output of the following:
echo $SHELL and $SHELL --version

If your shell is bash, try the following:
Check in all of the .sh files in /etc/profile.d/ directory for aliases defined. In whichever .sh file you make the changes, you've to ensure that this file would be called during system startup. Which .sh files from profile.d dir are loaded during startup can be checked in file /etc/bashrc. Mostly all of them would be loaded using a for loop.

I don't know. It depends on what's configured in your /etc/bashrc file. Open /etc/bashrc in vim and see which .sh files from profile.d dir is getting loaded.

This is how it is, in my /etc/bashrc:
Code:
for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
    if [ -r "$i" ]; then
        . $i
    fi
done

If this is the case in your /etc/bashrc too, then you can put your alias lines in any of .sh file.
My best guess is, try inserting aliases in kde.sh but only after you've done the above.
