    As you can see from the current answers, we are unsure what you mean by "persist". You question was also originally tagged with ssh (I removed that tag). Please let us know if ssh is somehow relevant to you question.

  • Look at declare -f Show and make a SaveFunc helper to save the functions giving by their name into e.g. the ~/.bash_funcs.d directory. Then add some white magic to bash's startup scripts to read in all functions defined in that directory.

To make a function definition persist after reboot, you do same thing as you would do to add or modify persistent shell aliases and/or environment variables: You edit your shell initialization files.



If you add your function definition in ~/.bashrc (or wherever you usually define aliases), it will be available for use in the next interactive bash shell session.
