There are two ways you can set and unset Alias environment variables on Mac OS X:
However, these variables will only be available if you run Alias from the shell. If you run Alias from the Dock or Finder, it will not use any of the environment variables from your shell.
Example environment.plist file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>ALIAS_HIDDEN_CASTS_SHADOWS</key> <string>ON</string> </dict> </plist>
To see the values of all your environment variables, use the printenv command in a shell.
