I should also make note that I am using Terminal v85 if that makes a difference, it's possible earlier versions don't behave the same way.

I'm still having an issue. For some reason it wont take the aliases. I'm using v85. I put the file in the right location. But it's just not working.
IDK if this helps, but I'm unable to execute the file. I get "permission denied". Even after chmod 777.
So out of curiosity I made another file in the same location. With just one alias string in it. But that two gets permission denied. Am I missing a step somewhere?

[copland007]

Permissions only need to be 600, .profile isn't executed, it's sourced. To force it to re-source execute this "source .profile"

[dmbaird]

oh ok.
hmm when I re-source it, It works great.
So you're saying it isn't being sourced correctly in the first place?

What enhancements do you get with installing ssh2 instead of the regular ssh?

[AustinSTI]

The .profile works fine for me however I get:

-sh: : command not found
-sh: : command not found

Why is this? I've played with the file and the file causes this to occur...

My file:

# Aliases
alias ssh='ssh2'

# User specific environment
PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
TERM=vt100

export PATH TERM

ok found the problem - I don't have VT100 installed. Where can I get it?

what is this .profile file youre referring to?

also when I enter some commands the program seems to automatically add a space or sometimes it seems to do some really weird things. i dont know how to explain it, its like it puts the command I'm typing at the end I itself and then let's me continue I type

I can't seem to successfully enter in the alias commands for nes

[k0mpresd]

^ continuation

everytime i type in the nes sound commands i get part way through and i hit "r" in library and it does this... (see attached image)

is this normal?

I thought this was my answer to get aliases working for sound and nosound with iPhoneNES, but I can't get it to stick either. "alias" doesn't output anything. Does the .profile file have to be a certain encoding or certain permissions? Is it possible someone could upload a .profile file that is working for them?

[frontsidebus]

I have a .profile working correctly on my iphone for nes sound. I posted the howto in the NES Sound problem thread, so maybe check that, and let me know if its too brief.

[copland007]

The quoted .profile I posted on page 1 of this thread is the one I am using and it works perfectly fine. permissions are 600 for /var/root/.profile

[organik]

It is certainly not working for me. If I copy and paste into textedit to make the file, save it as .profile, give it the proper permissions in var/root and in terminal I'm still not gettting any aliases registering - can you just upload the actual .profile file you are using - then if I put that in var/root with proper permissions and it's STILL not working, I have another problem. Somehow the .profile file I'm creating is not being processed.

[dmbaird]

Yeah same here. the file would be much appreciated.

[k0mpresd]

edit: n/m...figured it out

[organik]

the profile is only being read for my if I do 'source var/root/.profile' first. What's the trick to it being read automatically?
