I have set up several 'alias' definitions in my .bashrc file. They are honored when run as either a regular user or as root. However, when I prefix a command with 'sudo', the alias is no longer honored. In other words, the actual command is run;however, any flags that I was passing to it via 'alias' are lost. How can I circumvent this annoyance. Example, I often use 'pico' from within 'xterm'. I set up an alias that causes pico to use the mouse; i.e., pico -m which works fine as long as I do not prefix the command with 'sudo' -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com I just need enough to tide me over until I need more.
