hello, i am writing a small script to take care of some things when booting my knoppix disk. i cannot get any functions or aliases to work. i am sending these commands in the script:

function jdw () { alias list="ls /mnt/"; }
jdw
function jdm () { alias bdc="bdc --arc --delete --moves"; }
jdm

i start the script with #!/bin/bash
but have tried #!/bin/sh
also i have tried just the alias but with the shopt -s expand_aliases command and it also fails. everything else in the script works.

no takers? well, can someone write a script that odes these things?

Hi.

Your code seems to work for me:
which produces when run:
Note that I added an echo so that you know the alias definition has worked ... cheers, drl
