Re: [HTCondor-users] set an alias in the job-wrapper-script

[Carl Edquist <edquist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christoph,

Bash does not expand aliases for "non-interactive" shells, unless the 
"expand_aliases" shopt option is set.  So if you want to do your thing 
with ". file.txt" to get aliases into a shell, you'll need to do it like:

	shopt -s expand_aliases

	. file.txt

Alternatively, you might want to consider using shell functions instead of 
aliases.

Hope that helps,

Carl
