Nice. Here's a more generic *nix method: In .profile or .bashrc: alias djg="cd ~/Documents/workspace/myproject && source ./env" alias djr="djg && ./manage.py runserver" In the env file, I have any environment variables that I need, which in this case is only PYTHONPATH. Then, from any terminal, a simple "djr" gets me running, or a "djg" takes me to my project, so I can run any manage.py commands I need. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
