I'm trying to make an bash alias do what I want an things are not
working as
expected.
[root@server1 samba]# alias ta='echo /var/log/samba/log.${1:-smbd}'
[root@server1 samba]# ta
/var/log/samba/log.smbd
[root@server1 samba]# ta server2
/var/log/samba/log.smbd server2
I would think the second invocation of ta to produce:
/var/log/samba/log.server2
but it doesn't. Is there something I don't understand?
Thanks in advance,
Bill Shirley
