In order to customize the bash shell where do I place alias, set and export statements? Thanks in advance.

The SuSE bash initialization files look for a $HOME/.alias file and source it if it exists, that's the best place for personal aliases. The best place for personal shell variables is $HOME/.bashrc since it is sourced for all types of shells (login, interactive, non-interactive). Check out the SuSE unofficial FAQ for all the behind the scenes setup of bash shells in SuSE: http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/ Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Got spam?

Normally, these are placed in your .bashrc file. On 30 Apr 2002 at 7:21, Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. wrote:
