Show us. Paste a SESSION from your TERMINAL into the email so we can
see it. Then show us some evidence that the alias is actually defined.
Ideally you would run the "alias" command, which prints all of your
aliases. Then you would PASTE THAT SESSION SNIPPET INCLUDING THE SHELL
PROMPT, THE COMMAND YOU RAN, AND ITS OUTPUT into an email so we can
see it. You could also verify which shell you are using, by running
"ps -p $$". Then paste that shell prompt, and the command that you
ran, and its output, into an email so we can see it. You could examine
your shell's dot files. Assuming your shell is bash, the relevant one
is .bashrc. So you could run "ls -ld ~/.bashrc" and paste your shell
prompt, that command, and its output, into an email so that we can see
it. Of course, .bashrc is only read when you open a terminal which
runs a non-login shell in the normal and expected manner. If you've
configured your terminal so that it runs a login shell instead of a
regular shell, then you would also have to make sure you're dotting in
(or sourcing) the .bashrc file from your shell's login profile. So,
for that reason, it would be useful to know the exact command that
your terminal is running. "ps -fp $$" should give that, assuming you
run it in the top-level shell launched by your terminal, not in some
kind of subshell or script. Paste the shell prompt, the command, and
its output.
Bash has always been my default shell since the days of the Redhat
Mother's Day Release
