I'm running SuSE 7.3. I made some modifications to my /root/.alias file and my /root/.bashrc file. Now when I log in I get the error in the subject line. If I rename the .alias file the function in .bashrc works, if I rename the .bashrc the .alias works, but not both together. What am I missing? The two files are listed below. Many thanks for any help.. .bashrc function wcd { $HOME/bin/wcd.exe $* source $HOME/bin/wcd.go } .alias alias df='df -h' alias bin='. bin' alias etc='. etc' alias http='. http' alias dl='. dl' alias docs='. docs' alias home='. home' alias morn='. morn' alias env='. env' alias inv='. inv' alias log='. log' alias mp3='. mp3' alias mpg='. mpg' alias sto='. sto' alias sound='. sound' alias ro='. ro' alias news=". news" alias htdocs=". htdocs" alias cgi=". cgi" alias fi='. fi' alias c='. c' alias wk='. wk' alias pro='. pro' -- (o< //\ Powered by SuSE Linux V_/_ Virusproof.
