In bash's manual page it explains which files execute when. If you want to make sure all configuration files get read then you log out, and log back in. The only file I ever alter is my rc dot file in my home directory, ~/.bashrc That file should work how you think things should work. You're probably better off not editing the files in /etc unless you know what you're doing and have a very good reason. Are you sure you're creating aliases properly? ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
