I have tried to make an alias and .alias file but neither works. What am I over looking? Here is some more information that might be helpful. 1) As a normal user I can use these aliases but I cannot find the alias file to add my own aliases. 2) As root I cannot use these aliases and I can find the files aliases and aliases.db but aliases contains other information. 3) If I enter the connand newaliases, none of the aliases work as root or a user. alias +='pushd .' alias -='popd' alias ..='cd ..' alias ...='cd ../..' alias A:='echo -e '\''Error: There is no such thing as a drive A: in Un*x!\n Use mtools, mount or autofs to access your floppy.'\''' alias C:='echo -e '\''Error: There is no such thing as a drive C: in Un*x!\n Your harddisk should already be mounted (via /etc/fstab or autofs).'\''' alias beep='echo -en "\x07"' alias cd..='echo '\''Error: Try: cd ..'\''' alias chkdsk='echo -e '\''Error: Your filesystems are checked on bootup.\n If you want to do it manually, use fsck.\n Use df and mount for an overview of your disks.'\''' alias copy='echo '\''Error: Try the command: cp -piv'\''' alias del='echo '\''Error: Try the command: rm -iv'\''' alias dir='ls -l' alias dos2unix='recode ibmpc..lat1' alias format='echo -e '\''Error: The D*S concept of formatting a disk is screwed.\n Maybe you want to create a filesystem?

The above aliases are set in /etc/profile. If you want to add more use /etc/profile.local for global aliases or your .bashrc or .profile in your home directory for non-global. -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net

If your .bashrc reads: test -e ~/.alias && . ~/.alias then you can place all your alias in ~/.alias.
