I know that alias shows all aliases, and alias dirmysql='cd
/usr/local/mysql' allows me to just type dirmysql @ the promt to move to
the mysql dir. But, how do I get this to be system wide and remain after
a reboot. At the moment, if I open another terminal window after making
the alias, it doesn't carry over to the new one. My book, Beginning
Fedora2(I'm using 3 now) covers only how to make the alias. Could
someone tell me what I need to make it permanent, or what I'm not
understanding.? Cheers.
To retain the alias across logins for your user, put the alias in ~/.bashrc
Or do you want this alias to be there for all other users of the system too?
