Use aliases as custom commands in terminator
I am using a terminator layout to start multiple terminals, and would like to call an alias at each terminal start which is defined in my .bash_aliases (called by both .bashrc and .profile). Terminator unfortunately doesn't know about those aliases when starting the terminals. How can I fix that?
I start terminator with this command:
terminator -l my_layout -f
EDIT:
As a temporary solution, I ssh -A -YC into myself and then run the alias. All this as a custom command.
alias command gnome-terminator

Set an environment variable for your Terminator windows, and call the aliases from your .bashrc. In terminator's config:
[layouts]
[[default]]
[[[child0]]]
order = 0
parent = ""
type = Window
[[[child1]]]
labels = Alias0, Alias1, None
order = 0
parent = child0
type = Notebook
[[[terminal1]]]
order = 0
parent = alias0
profile = root
type = Terminal
[[[terminal2]]]
order = 1
parent = child1
profile = alias1
type = Terminal
[[[terminal3]]]
order = 2
parent = child1
profile = default
type = Terminal
[profiles]
[[alias0]]
custom_command = MY_ALIAS=0 bash
use_custom_command = True
[[alias1]]
custom_command = MY_ALIAS=1 bash
use_custom_command = True
And in .bashrc:
case $MYALIAS in
0) alias0
;;
1) alias1
;;
*)
;;
