I'm trying to write a utility script that defines certain aliases.
My SHELL is tcsh (can't change that).
I tried the following
#!/bin/tcsh
alias log 'less ~/logs/log.date '+%Y%m%d'''
Then I run it like this:
> ./myscript
> log
The output I get is: log: Command not found.
Naturally if I run it like this:
> source myscript
> log
Everything is fine.
Any way to do it without specifying source ...?
