Question

I have a Projection function in my bash_profile. Now I am trying to call this function from a bash script however I get a not found error. How do I make the projection funct

Answer 1

The sane but not necessarily elegant approach is to put the function in a separate file, and source it from your profile and from your script.

You need to export the function if you want to make it available to all your scripts, but -- as with global variables -- this is not very maintainable in the long run.
