All,
I have a .kshrc file set up to create aliases. All
works fine. When I log in to <user> they're all there,
including one called startup.
If I run su - <user> "-c startup" it says it doesn't
exist. If I therefore run su - <user> "-c alias" none
of the aliases are displayed.
If I put some debugging messages in .kshrc I can see
that when I call the above commands, .kshrc DOES get
obeyed, and when I put an "alias" command at the end
of .kshrc, the aliases ARE there.
So it appears that the "su - user" command is logging
in and running kshrc correctly, but the submitted
command doesn't see the aliases.
I've even tried dotting the .kshrc, but it can't be
seen.
Can anyone explain, or suggest how to run an alias
with su
Thanks,
A
