[SOLVED]How to make Gmrun use my zsh aliases?

froli · 2008-10-09 00:13:40

My "problem" looks simple but I can't solve it by myself. I simply want gmrun to use my .zshrc aliases.

For example, I have this line in my .zshrc:

alias rtorrent='urxvt -geometry 120x27 -e rtorrent'

But when I type rtorrent in gmrun it tells me: ERROR: Not Found... Even if I restart my session.

There's nothing about this in the wiki (I think), so thanks to those who will helps me.

gmrun does not use a shell, but completes from the $PATH. I would suggest turning your aliases into small scripts in ~/bin (or /usr/local/bin) and adding that to your PATH before the other entries

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

For instance:

#!/bin/sh
#/usr/local/bin/rtorrent
exec urxvt -geometry 120x27 -e rtorrent
