I have the following alias in my .bash_profile file:
alias rlogin="ssh -l elykl33t rlogin.server"
Of course this is not the actual username or server address.
When I, after relaunching terminal, type "rlogin" I am met with:
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
[-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile]
[-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file]
[-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]
[-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
[-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path]
[-W host:port] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]]
[user@]hostname [command]
If I run the command source .bash_profile
then the command works fine. Am I doing something wrong? Is this type of command just not possible the way I'm doing it?
Thanks guys!
type -a rlogin
tell you? It sounds like a new terminal does not give you a login shell, so if you log out and log in you'll be fine.
