Hi all,
I had set up an alias on CSH.
the alias name I am using in a script.
when I am using -
source scriptName
alias name is getting invoked but when I am trying to run same script using -
./scriptName
aliasname: command not found error is coming.
Any help is appreciated
. filename [arguments]
source filename [arguments]
Read and execute commands from filename in the current shell
environment and return the exit status of the last command exe-
cuted from filename.
you are getting the error because you are executing the file by ./filename
in which another shell is created for execution (not the current shell) because alias is not set for the new shell.
regards,
Sanjay
Thanks sanjay
Some more doubts
Is there anyway I can create a alias which will be used by all the shells as well as newly created also(something like export)?
During surfing I came across "shopt"
will the use of shopt -s expand_alliases help?
I suppose it is only for bash so is there any CSH equivalent available?
