&gt; Hi Users of Fedora<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I added below line to last line fo my ~.bash_profile<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;alias l=&#39;ls -la&#39;<br>
&gt; I logout and login again then try issuing:<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;$ l<br>
&gt; on command prompt but had no effect. Is there other way to make my<br>
&gt; custom alias (put in ~.bash_profile) work?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; It has no problem if I make an alias in gnome-terminal :<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;$ alias l=&#39;ls -la&#39;<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;$ l<br>
&gt; Issuing &#39;l&#39; command on command prompt will produce the desired result.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thank you<br>

If I remember correctly, you also need to export the alias. See if<br>
adding &quot;export l&quot; to .bash_profile helps.<br>
