Try putting your aliases into the file ${HOME}/.kshrc and add the
following line to your .profile:

        ENV=${HOME}/.kshrc ; export ENV

Search for ``ENV'' in the ksh man page for more details.

Problem: ksh and aliases

Post by NetSco » Fri, 03 Nov 1995 04:00:00


Hiya!

in your profile, include this if-then

if [ -r $HOME/.kshrc ]
then
   ENV=$HOME/.kshrc
   export ENV
fi

then, in your home directory create a file called .kshrc and put your
alias stuff there..  Something cool would be like this:

# .kshrc

# This will export your PS1 (prompt) kinda like DOS
ccd()
{
   if [ -d $1 ]
   then
      cd $1
      PS1="`logname`_`pwd`_$"
      export PS1                             #unless your doing it in the
.profile
   else
      echo "Invalid directory!"
   fi

Quote:}

alias cd="cdd"

home()
{
   clear
   cd $HOME

Quote:}

# end .kshrc

 
 
 

1. script alias problem - Re: apache alias and script alias problem

I actually did not have the <Directory> setup properly.

I am still having a problem with the script alias.

For example.

I set an alias -

Alias / /home/user1/html/

and a Script Alias -
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/user/cgi-bin/

However the script alias is not working because the log shows that
when entering:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/

/home/user/html/cgi-bin/ is actually being referenced.

When I remove the first Alias statement the cgi-bin script directory
is properly aliased.

Any suggestions.

Thanks.
