declare alias on system

Juan Manuel López — Fri, 23 Aug 2002 07:25:58 GMT

Hi all !.
I think the way to declare alias on HP/UX is on /etc/profile file, like:
alias rm='rm -i'

Right ?

Thanks, Juanma.

Yes it should work. Do you have any problem ?

If you are using sh or ksh you can use

(define alias globally)
alias 'rm=rm -i' in your /etc/profile
(define alias locally)
.profile of the user home dir.

if you are using csh then
local
.cshrc

alias rm 'rm -i'

if you are defining globally for all the users using c shell as default then
use
/etc/csh.login.

Thanks

Hi

Sorry, I did not notice your question about .profile. Have a look at this thread.
