How can I export an alias so it survives across an exec?
I thought there was a way for them to be exported like vars or functions...
but neither work.
I have a prog that needs an alias defined, if it isn't, it
execs a program to define the alias which re-execs the first --
if the alias isn't defined on the 2nd execution, the program
fails (has a check to prevent looping)...it seems the alias isn't
staying defined across the exec....
shouldn't export -f work for aliases? -- as I don't think
it would work to have an alias the same name as a function
(or would it?....) Either way.. How can you export an alias - simply!
I mean I could do it by re-instantiating them in a bash_env file, like
I have to do for arrays -- is the same required for aliases? Both
are pretty ugly though...
