Is there some reason not to use a file like .bash_aliases in the
hamvoip software? I don't have an allstar node myself so haven't tried
this but my Fedora, Mint, and Raspbian .bashrc files contain a section
like the one below. Then I keep any aliases I create in a file
called .bash_aliases so system updates don't delete them.

# Alias definitions.
# You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
# ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.
# See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package.

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
    . ~/.bash_aliases
fi

------------------------
Sample of .bash_aliases

#
# alias to run 'whoiscall.sh' by typing 'ham callsign'
#
alias ham=~/scripts/whoiscall.sh
