I am trying to write a Unix script which does the following:

Append the
Code:

alias myserver='/usr/bin/myserver :$SOME_USERID -name $SOME_USERNAME'

to the end of a particular file.

Can anyone help me with doing this ?

I tried the following in my script file
Code:

echo "alias myserver='/usr/bin/myserver :$SOME_USERID -name $SOME_USERNAME'" >> .bashrc


But i am getting the following
invalid command name "echo"
while executing
"echo "alias

1. Why is this happening ?
2. Any other way to do the appending ?

Thanks in advance
