bashrc, bash_profile alias issues

[Corey_James]

I have an alias both in my .bashrc and my .bash_profile -

alias autodock4='/home/fugate/disk2/AutoDock/autodock4/bin/autodock4'

The alias works fine if called on the command line, but when I run a bash script that calls the alias, the script dies and says autodock4 command not found.

I tried exporting the path -
DOCKPATH=$DOCKPATH:/home/fugate/disk2/AutoDock/autodock4/bin/autodock4
export DOCKPATH

Didn't help.

How can I get my script to read the alias from my .bashrc?

Since a script is executed by a non interactive bash
shell, it does not read either .bash_profile or .bashrc.
Set the variables, paths or aliases you want within the script.
