How to bring my alias across when I substitute another user 2

[jcchoy]

Hello. I have built a lot of handy alias to shorten my unix commands under my own id in .cshrc. But when I substitue to a production id, I am frustrated by I can't use my alias. I don't want to change the production id .cshrc but I want to be able to execute the alias commands that are in my own .cshrc for the duration of my production id session.

The simple solution I thought of right now is to put all my alias in a script and give read and execute permission of this script to the production id and execute it everytime I want to use the same alias commands in the production id.

Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.

Copy your own [tt].cshrc[/tt] file to the other user's home directory. //Daniel

 

[vgersh99]

create a '.aliases' file [or however you want to name it], and [if you're using csh/tcsh] 'source ~/.aliases' it from your ~/.cshrc file.

Copy the ~/.aliases file to your 'production' system and modify your 'production' ~/.cshrc file accordingly.

Thank you very much Daniel and Vlad for your time and answers. I don't want to get into troubles by changing production id home directory with mine but both very good suggestions for my consideration. I have given you both a star.
