[vgersh99]

did you 'source' your .bashrc PRIOR to executing a new alias?

It sounds like you are running Bourne shell judging by the &quot;-sh&quot; in the error message.

Bourne shell does not use .bashrc. You probably just need to have your default shell changed to /bin/bash.

Whats the easiest way to set
/bin/bash
as my shell in .profile?

Amend your /etc/passwd file.
The last field is the login shell.

Or usermod -s /bin/bash userid.
