Hi

I have put alias ll='ls -la' in .profile file but it doesn't work.

On hand it works it looks like the .profile file is not beeing read.

How to check whitch file is loaded? ,profile? .bash_profile?

My system: SunOS mion 5.10 Generic
Shell: /bin/pfksh

Thanks

Add a line to the files .bash_login, .bashrc, and .profile. Make them something like:

echo "this is from .bashrc"

Then log into a fresh terminal and see which one(s) print. Then, you can put your alias in the proper place, or source your .profile in the one that does execute by adding this line to the file:

. ~/.profile
