Setting command line aliases.

[jxfish2]

I can set each of the following aliases under HP-UX and Linux, but am having trouble setting them in Solaris, under root's CSH:

alias ll='ls -l'
alias bdf='df -k'

What is the correct syntax for setting aliases on Solaris?

Under CSH:

Under SH:

Under KSH:

TIA

Since nobody responded to this, I simply changed my PATH statement, and created my own executables, that pointed to the real binaries, with the options I wanted...

i.e.

New file: /usr/bin/ll

Contains: /usr/bin/ls -al

New file: /usr/sbin/bdf

Contains: /usr/sbin/df -k

The alias command is built into ksh... but there is an alias command in /usr/bin that looks like it works with csh. The format you have above is ksh - for csh, try:

alias ll ls -l
alias bdf df -k

Looks like it's not available in bourne shell.
BTW - This is all in the man page ;-)

Use single quotes or double quotes but not back quotes.
