From: mallen AT gate DOT net (Mark A.) Subject: alias retention 2 May 1998 22:36:43 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Is it possible to get aliases to be retained by the bash shell at startup? I read the 'set -i ?' command makes the bashshell interactive allowing bash to read a .bashrc file (that I would like to put aliases, etc. However either I'm not issuing the -i command in the correct syntax or something as bash doesn't seem to be getting any info from the .bashrc file. In any case my aliases are lost after each session. Can anybody help?
