Alias in bash

TomSweeney

Hello Linux chaps,

In my .bashrc I have created the following alias

alias rmtmp="sudo rm -rf /usr/local/snip/snip/*/temp/*"

However when I log in

rmtmp

gives command not found ...

sudo rmtmp

(then enter password) does the same, the only way I can run it is if I sudo as su.

so

sudo su

then rmtmp is regognised and runs.

Is there some permission I need to toggle on .bashrc for this to run outside su ?

Did you create the alias in root's .bashrc by accident?

Speaking about alias , as a Harry Potter fan I used spell names for some of mine ie apt-get == accio

Ha, that's kind of cool!

alias Alohomora ="unzip"
alias Avada_Kedavra = "kill -9"

Think I'll borrow them as just reinstalled Ubuntu , and might set up ssh as Portus.

I just found a old blog post with all my Alisa

alias accio='sudo apt-get install'
alias ak='kill -9' # Avada Kedavra is just too long, an to hard to spell
alias portus='cd /home'
alias scourgify='sudo apt-get remove'
alias mischief-managed='sudo shutdown –h now'

A bit of a mouthful, but I like that mischievous feeling...

alias i-solemnly-swear-that-i-am-up-to-no-good='sudo -i'
