I want to add alias for ux2dos and dos2ux as unix2dos,dos2unix. In which file I need to add these aliases, so that these aliases are available to all the users of the system.

Consider to add the alias command to the profile or maybe better set a link!

Example:

Check where the binaries are!

Hi:

> I want to know, how to add the same alias in profile file.

Add a line like this to your '.profile':

alias 'dodos=/usr/bin/ux2dos'

Now when you simply do:

# alias

(or):

# alias dodos

...you will see 'dodos' as an alias command.

To dynamically remove the command, do:

# unalias dodos

Regards!
