Try putting stuff like this in a file in your home dir, and 'source'ing
it
from both .bash_profile and .bashrc. Save you the trouble of having it in
two or more different places. I have a 'bash_functions' file in home which
has
d () {
/bin/ls --almost-all --format=long --color=auto [EMAIL
PROTECTED]
}
export d
and the line 'source ~/bash_functions' in both .bash_profile and .bashrc.
