Re: setting aliases

I have a file alias.ksh which contains my aliases. When I log in I run . alias.ksh.

The . before the command makes sure the aliases are available in the current shell.

Re: setting aliases

Let's say your aliases are stored in file .alias.ksh

You need to add this line to your .profile :
export ENV=.alias.ksh

With this it will work.
