I am using a terminator layout to start multiple terminals, and would like to call an alias at each terminal start which is defined in my .bash_aliases (called by both .bashrc and .profile). Terminator unfortunately doesn't know about those aliases when starting the terminals. How can I fix that?

I start terminator with this command:

terminator -l my_layout -f

EDIT:

As a temporary solution, I ssh -A -YC into myself and then run the alias. All this as a custom command.

Set an environment variable for your Terminator windows, and call the aliases from your .bashrc. In terminator's config:

[layouts]
 [[default]]
 [[[child0]]]
 order = 0
 parent = ""
 type = Window
 [[[child1]]]
 labels = Alias0, Alias1, None
 order = 0
 parent = child0
 type = Notebook
 [[[terminal1]]]
 order = 0
 parent = alias0
 profile = root
 type = Terminal
 [[[terminal2]]]
 order = 1
 parent = child1
 profile = alias1
 type = Terminal
 [[[terminal3]]]
 order = 2
 parent = child1
 profile = default
 type = Terminal


[profiles]
 [[alias0]]
 custom_command = MY_ALIAS=0 bash
 use_custom_command = True
 [[alias1]]
 custom_command = MY_ALIAS=1 bash
 use_custom_command = True

And in .bashrc:

case $MYALIAS in
 0) alias0
 ;;
 1) alias1
 ;;
 *)
 ;;
esac
