hello,
How to export alias.
I have defined some alias in user .profile. but if i execute "ksh -o vi" i am not able to
execute the defined alias.
How to export the alias if i change the shell.

Thanks in adv.

Hi Ash,

Did you try using

alias -x

eg :
$ alias -x dir="ls -al"

Hi,

try the following thread (the alias must be written in .kshrc)

Hi
You should define your alias in .kshrc and in the .profile you should have
ENV=.kshrc; export ENV
