My .bashrc looks like this:
alias name@server="ssh server sname" echo "bashrc read" The echo statement is just for checking if it is read. But the echo does nothing. I want to set an alias for a quicker ssh into a box doing a certain command which is a working alias on the remote box.
I haven't used cygwin in some time, but I'm guessing that it wants ~/.bash_profile. Simple fix to test.
ln -s ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile Or if ~/.bash_profile exists, source .bashrc.
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ] then . ~/.bashrc fi Because your cygwin bash is a login shell which reads the profile files, not the rc files. See jtimberman's answer for the second part of the answer... .
as jtimberman said, it's probably using .bash_profile. Another one to remember about is .profile.
You need to resolve the ip. simply add the "ipaddress sname" to your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts files and it should resolved it.
example: 127.0.0.1 localhost [ipaddress sname]
