Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazqueznet@xxxxxxxxx> took out a #2 pencil
and scribbled:

> [ignacio@localhost ~]$ alias foo=bar
> [ignacio@localhost ~]$ foo
> bash: bar: command not found
> [ignacio@localhost ~]$ "foo"
> bash: foo: command not found
> [ignacio@localhost ~]$ \foo

Interesting. Here's an example of what I see on my system with cp
aliased to cp -i

[prata@crane ~]$ which cp
alias cp='cp -i'
        /bin/cp
[prata@crane ~]$ touch test.tst
[prata@crane ~]$ "cp" -rf test.tst  test.keytest

Thanks for that information, I need to read the howto on bash
scripting again! *blinks*

Thanks!
