How to auto source a shell script?
None of the Unix shells allow you to mark a script as one that should always be sourced the way you're hoping. What I would do is create an alias
or procedure to do what you want and put it in my startup script. For example, in tcsh:
alias scriptname source \!\!
In bash, you could write it as a procedure:
scriptname( ) { source scriptname.sh $*; }
