Hi everybody.

I have a simple question. How do I set a command alias that will be
available system wide. So I logout then I login again with it.

Thanks
chito

Put it in /etc/profile or the users .profile

sample : $alias dir='ls -l'

put your alias in a file like myaliases and in your .cshrc file write
down:

source myaliases.

alias's unfortunately, do not get propogated to shells. You need to either
put
this in your .profile - or better - in your environment file. Usually
".kshrc"
and specified in the users .profile with a line like:
export ENV=~/.kshrc
By the way, the example of dir being equated to ls - I often ask people, do
they
then put on their resume that they have DOS skills?
Use alias's for something useful like "alias rm='rm-i'"

you would want to specify this command in user profile or the system
profile this way every time you log in the command will be thier for
you
