Re: [Linuxcommand-discuss] aliases in scripts

[William S. <bs...@pa...>]

That is a really interesting question.  I have noticed on my RH box that
scripts do inherit the aliases of the user.  I saw where this was
controlled once, but I can't remember where.  I would perfer the
behavior you describe since it would make the execution environment
more predictable/secure.  Perhaps one of our more enlightened members will
know the answer.
