Alias- not permanent?

[src2206]

Thanks Ahmed,

The following is the changed .bashrc file

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions

alias c="/sbin/ifup ppp0"
alias s="/sbin/adsl-status"
alias d="/sbin/ifdown ppp0"

And it did not solve the problem .

So any more suggestions please!

type keyword 'export' before variable assignment.

export c="/sbin/ifup ppp0"
export d="/sbin/ifdown ppp0"
export s="/sbin/adsl-status"

save it in .kde/env/<file.sh>
logout and login again.......

Hi casper,
Well unfortunately the above method did not work .
Though when I addedthe commands to .bashrc it worked !

Thank you for your help

[devils casper]

thats strange !
its working for me. i placed all scripts, for bluetooth settings, environment variables and keyboard shorcuts in .kde/env folder. working perfectly.

I'm using GNOME so isn't it supposed to be .gnome?
And I made a mistake I placed it directly in .kde rather than in .kde/env folder.
Sorry for that.
Still the .bashrc worked !
Would you like to give it a try too?

[devils casper]

well ! i will look into this. as you know, i prefer KDE only.... i will check in GNOME.
problem with .bashrc is, one has to open shell for setting variables listed in it.

Hi casper,
Just to let you know- bashrc editing has made the comands permanent .

Oh BTW, cool new Avatar

gooood ! but you have to open shell/konsole first. right?
i mean, .bashrc file get executed only when you open terminal/konsole.

xmodmap -e 'keycode 115=Menu'

this command assigns Windows key to Main Menu ( like windows START button key ).
if i put this command in .bashrc file, windows key wont work on logging in coz .bashrc didn't execute yet.
open terminal/konsole... and lo... .bashrc executed and winkey working.


Avatar ... thanx .. its casper again.
