I am running cygwin on a Windows 2000 machine.
I would like to run a bash script with a few changes in the environment. I
would expect this to work:
bash --rcfile init.sh script
But it does not seem that bash retain any of the changes I have made in init.sh?
As a small example I have tried using these two minimal files
init.sh:
hello () { echo "hello world"; }
alias listdir=ls
script:
hello
listdir
I get the following output:
$ bash --rcfile init.sh script
script: line 1: hello: command not found
script: line 2: listdir: command not found
$ bash --rcfile init.sh
$ hello
hello world
$ listdir
init.sh script
$ ./script
./script: line 1: hello: command not found
./script: line 2: listdir: command not found
What can I do to make my changes work in the script?
Best Regards,
Arto Stimms
