may be not the right place to ask, need help to set an unix alias for my web page.
my webpage calls an ajax .pl which uses a version of tool. i need to control the version of tool in my configuration files. i use lighttpd in this case.
ex: .pl calls "grep pattern file"
I need to control grep from where its used.
alias grep /usr/custom/scripts/bin/grep
A shell alias is for interactive shells. You can set PATH before starting lighttpd, or you can use mod_setenv to set PATH for your CGI requests. (In your environment: PATH=/usr/custom/scripts/bin:$PATH but you'll have to spell it out in lighttpd.conf, and not use $PATH)
