Ruby Net / SSH-重新加载bash_profile

Question

I'm using Ruby MRI 1.8.7 and I have a Net-SSH script that connects to a server and edits the .bash_profile file. Basically a few alias shortcuts are added. Example of .bash_profile content:

alias test="echo 'test'"

Now, I cannot use those aliases until I reload via source .bash_profile.. The problem is that it seems like I cannot source .bash_profile via Net-SSH. This is what I've tried so far:

ssh.exec!("source .bash_profile")
ssh.exec!("source /root/.bash_profile")
ssh.exec!("bash -c 'source ~/.bash_profile'")

Now, actually I don't even need the aliases in Net-SSH, but I at least don't want to source bash_profile manually on the server. What is the issue here, and are there any solutions to that?

Answer 1

You can't have a bang (!) in a double-quoted string in bash. Try this: alias test='echo ''test!'''

Answer 2

puts

source $HOME/.bash_profile

at first line of .bashrc
