Changing to Bash Shell
Hi All,
When i logon to a Solaris Server , i by default logon to a KSH (Appears to set by system administrator) , and I have done plenty of ALIAS setting . Now when i move from KSH to BASH shell all the Alias setting are Lost .
Is there any way so that i do not loose the Alias setting when moving from one type of Shell to another.

It sounds like you want to have a bash shell all the time, why not ask to have your shell changed?
at the bottom of your .profile, put the following:
unset BASH
BASH=$(which bash)
[ -x ${BASH} ] && exec ${BASH} || echo "bash not found on this system"
unset BASH
BASH=$(which bash)
[ -x ${BASH} ] && exec ${BASH} || echo "bash not found on this system"

I created a file called .bash_profile and All my Aliases transefered to that too.
May be you can help in this too.
What Setting is to be done in the .profile so that i directly go to the bash shell with the Source file as .bash_profile.
Thanks and Regards
