Title: aliases for opnsense-shell
Post by: firewall on August 11, 2019, 08:23:35 pm

can someone help me determine which ENV files are sourced during a login to opnsense-shell (e.g. .shellrc, .profile, .login, etc.)?  i'd like to set some aliases--specifically replacing the default bsd "watch" command--but i've been unable to figure out where to set this. 

i understand i can change the user(s) to another shell but i'm also not familiar with the pros/cons of remaining with opnsense-shell.

i did try searching for an answer here but all results pertain to firewall aliases...and understandably so.  ;D

Hi,

opnsense-shell is just a console menu wrapper. If you talk about shell aliases you can configure csh accordingly with a .profile or .cshrc (option 8). If you want more menu entries that is something we don't have an extension for.


Cheers,
