Setting .profile and .kshrc

807557Feb 9 2006 — edited Feb 13 2006
I am trying to set permanet aliases in my mysql user account (ksh) for mysql commands stored in /usr/sfw/bin/. I tried entering them directly into /etc/skel/.profile, in several different formats. Unsuccessfully. I then figured out that setting ENV=.kshrc was more up my alley. I created /export/home/mysql/.kshrc and set it as ENV in .profile. Then I entered the aliases in ~.kshrc. I wonder though, if there ought to be a .profile in /export/home/mysql. Nothing I have tried has worked. Does anyone have any helpful advice? Thank you in advance.
