all right, in case you didn't know, there is this weird feature of bash: alias ls='ls -f ' #dont forget the space after the last ' alias test=';touch /tmp/foo-bar' then: ls test and it would touch /tmp/foo-bar. obviously you can do: alias test='/usr/share/man/man3' ls test and it would substitute that. but you need the space after the alias or this won't work. i stumbled across it because my distro sets ls up to use color and it kept running something i didn't want because of the space after the alias, so just wanted to warn you that this could happen and what to do about it. if you have anymore to add, send it to the list.
