In this case, where there is no further expansion to be done in the alias content, you could use a mere variable: foobarbaz='echo ok' $foobarbaz "$@" Or, if some further expansion has to be made, 'eval' again: foobarbaz='echo $PATH' eval $foobarbaz '"$@"' ++ Seb. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dash" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
