preserving aliases after clearcase command

[ajay]

Hi All,

I'm on Solaris and ksh.
If i execute clearcase commands say for example
"/usr/atria/bin/cleartool setview aksingh"
after that i enter into clearcase shell and all the aliases are lost.
To make them available under clearcase shell i have to source my
.alias file again.
Is there anyway to make aliases available automatically when i enter
into clearcase shell ?

Tx

man ct+setview:

-login
Reads in your shell startup file. No error occurs if this
file is missing. Use this option to gain access to your
personal aliases, environment variable settings, and so on

tx Florian,
Just another clearification.
If i give -login option in setview then which dot file it executes ?
.profile, .login or .alias ??
my concern is that we use another script to setview, which wraps the
"cleartool setview" command. This is done to set another environment,
which is different from our local environment. Meaning that this
script avoids local .profile and setup different environment.

So i just want to execute .alias file and certainly not the .profile.

Hi All,
I found out just putting this line in .profile will work

export ENV=.alias
