Path to shell script in aliases with ./

  • 772

I'm trying to make an alias for my shell script which is saved in ~/Dokumente/music.sh

Therefore, I added following line to ~/.bash_aliases:

alias music='.//home/robin/Dokumente/music.sh'

After saving, I executed source ~/.bash_aliases.

I think the alias itself is working fine, but ./ doesn't find the file. Why? I've tried multiple things (e.g. ~/Dokumente/music.sh) but nothing works.

I can execute the script when I type ./music.sh within the containing folder. That shouldn't be the point…

I want the script being executable from any direction with this user.

Any help would be appreciated!

bash

    Try:

    alias music='/home/robin/Dokumente/music.sh'

    the ./ part usually denotes current directory, so a relative path.
