Please allow me to clafiry. Sorry about the delay between replies...
Now that I reread Houghi continuing discussion, it seems like a .alias file
is the better solution, but I stuck to the one which worked quickly for me.
However, I ought to mention that I prefer to centralise my settings outside
dot files. I get _everything_ apart from ~/.* backed-up (mirrored) twice a
week whereas all the remaining files I manage to back-up once a month or
so. .alias is yet another dot file to keep in mind.
My .bashrc is now just:
. /home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/Definitions/bashrc
the file above contains:
echo Setting up aliases...
echo
. /home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/aliases.sh
echo _______________________________________________________________
echo -------------------------- Last users -------------------------
echo
last -n 11
echo
echo _______________________________________________________________
echo --------------------------- Cron jobs -------------------------
echo
echo Currently omitted
### crontab -l
echo
echo
echo _______________________________________________________________
echo ------------------------------ Who ----------------------------

echo ------------------ roy@baine.smb.man.ac.uk --------------------
echo
all the rest of my customisations lie within /etc/profile.local and
/home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/aliases.sh
Thanks very much again,
Roy
