I was having a problem in a shell script that turned out to be cp being aliased to 'cp -i'. Not a showstopper, once you realise it, but it did beg the question as to where this file is. I was told to look in /etc/profile.d, but that doesn't seem to be the case on my CentOS box. I can list aliases, so I know the file exists, but where?
~/.bashrc
That seems to be the place to add user-specific ones, but where are the global default ones?
FTR, you can use \cp to get around this.
I was told that, and also told that it was advisable to use the full path in a script, particularly if it is to be run by cron. I chose the full-path solution.
