I cannot remember seeing this discussed before and I was just almost burned
by it.
With the following setup:
BASH_VERSION=1.04.1
alias pd=mypushd
mypushd() {
pushd $1;
cwd=`pwd`;
mytitle "$HOST:$cwd";
}
(I use these and a few more macros to get have my host and path in my
xterm titlebars.)
pd seems to work happily except in the following case:
tar cf - . | (pd ; tar xvf - )
Where I get:
pd: command not found
Followed by tar trying to unload my files back ontop of themselves!
In fact none of my aliases are available inside '(...)' statement lists.
I can't really belive that this is a feature. So I must presume its a bug.
Any ideas on how to work around this - or of stupid things I may be doing
to bring this problem on myself?
