After I start a GRASS session this alias seems to go away. Is
there anyway to respect user customization (i.e. .bashrc)
when initializing GRASS?
Or is this a user-related error?
GRASS's Init.sh does special tricks with $HOME and $bashrc so you can
save your command history, etc., for each mapset.
Then it tries to do:
echo "test -r ~/.alias && . ~/.alias" >> "$bashrc"
but at that point "$HOME" is already redefined so the real
/home/you/.alias is not the one it looks for there?
Fix with "s/~/$USERHOME/" ??
(that bit of the code is a mess, I don't like to touch it)
(history file better handled with $HISTFILE ? see g.mapset warning)
Eric:
What happens if you copy your alias into ~/.grass.bashrc?
yes that works.
FWIW, my .grass.bashrc has:
.. /home/hamish/.alias
export HISTSIZE=3000
# first GRASS instance gets set a low priority (because we can)
NUMGRASSES=`pgrep -c Init.sh`
if [ "$NUMGRASSES" -le 1 ] ; then
renice +17 -p $$
else
NICENESS=`echo $NUMGRASSES | awk '{printf("%0.f", 20 / $1)}'`
renice +$NICENESS -p $$

Hamish,
why does the test refer to .alias? As I wrote in the attached mail the
bash-alias-file should be .bash_aliases
And what I don't understand either, not even if in the .grass.bashrc is
defined
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
fi
the aliases work in grass.
... oh now I understand, do I? Do I have to change this entry in
if [ -f $USERHOME/.bash_aliases ]; then
. $USERHOME/.bash_aliases
fi
???
No... does not work ;o(
I have this solution to change the Init.sh (see below). But it isn't a
good one. I hope for a better one with only one alias-definition-file.
Greets to the other side of the globe
cheers

Subject: [GRASS-user] .bash_aliases doesn't work in GRASS & Start
without g.gui
Hi
I noticed that my .bash_aliases is not affected when GRASS starts. I
have a .grass.bashrc which is almost the same as the regular one. I want
to have only one aliases-file, therefore I don't want to copy the aliases
in the .grass.bashrc.
in the Init.sh in line 939 the test is
echo "test -r ~/.alias && . ~/.alias" >> "$bashrc"
but the aliases files name which the .bashrc suggests to use is .bash_aliases
# You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
# ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
My solution to get all my aliases is to change the Init.sh every time I
update my svn in line 948 where I insert the following lines:
if [ -r "$USERHOME/.bash_aliases" ]
then
cat "$USERHOME/.bash_aliases" >> "$bashrc"
fi
Is there another way?
Maybe somebody may change the Init.sh for better acting
