Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> took out a #2 pencil
and scribbled:
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ alias foo=bar
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ foo
> bash: bar: command not found
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ "foo"
> bash: foo: command not found
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ \foo
> bash: foo: command not found
Interesting. Here's an example of what I see on my system with cp
aliased to cp -i
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ which cp
alias cp='cp -i'
/bin/cp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ touch test.tst
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ "cp" -rf test.tst test.keytest
Thanks for that information, I need to read the howto on bash
scripting again! *blinks*
Thanks!
