- The aliases I want all users on my system to use I put in
- /etc/kshalias file and then have a statement in each individual
- environment file (whatever you set it up to be, I use .env):
- . /etc/kshalias
- That seems to work nicely. If you source your aliases in the
- global profile file (/etc/profile), I think you might lose them
- in subshells, although I haven't tested that too much.
