You still need a wrapper to handle quotation marks. command_foo --option_bar "string abc" by your alias s command_foo --option_bar \"string abc\"" imagine more than just one option needing the quotation marks. It's easier to use sudo or to write a wrapper for su -c. sudo command_foo --option_bar "string abc" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
