I'm new to opie (which I like very much). I'm curently trying to get bluetooth working on my poodle, which involves a lot of work with the console (along with more than the usual amount of swearing and cursing). I find, however, that aliases that I put in /home/root/.profile (or, for that matter, in /etc/profile) are not read on startup, which quickly gets annoying when I have to enter them manually each time. If I log into the zaurus with SSH, everything works, but not so with Console. I presume I need to add a flag to the /bin/sh invocation in the profile to make sh act as a login shell, but the standard sh flag to do that (--login) doesn't work. /bin/sh is symlinked to busybox, but the only documentation I can find on busybox (from their website) doesn't even mention sh as a function, much less document it.
How can I get my aliases to read each time I start Console?
