Well, since no one else has taken a stab at this, and your name is bunny.. :) Not sure what you're trying to do, you should post more information about the type of system your using and exactly what you're trying to do. Having said that, you could use a link(ln, man link for more information)... 1:49pm@parrothd~/ttt>ln -s allusers newfilename 11:50pm@parrothd~/ttt>ll total 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 parrothd staff 16 Nov 17 23:49 allusers lrwxr-xr-x 1 parrothd staff 5 Nov 17 23:50 newfilename -> allusers This will allow you to keep the allusers file, and create a new file that point to the allusers file. Ie, any channges you make to newfile name will actually edit the allusers file and vice versa...

The case is : I have a file allusers*, this file has all the email address and all new email id created goes directly to this file. I use this file as email address to email all my users example: <<mailto:allusers@cyber.net.pk>allusers@cyber.net.pk I would like to change the name of the file. How can I do that? I dont think that using a command of mv, ren can do it, because there are aliases involved. We have to do it through aliases. Please help me. I am in deep trouble. </smaller></fontfamily> <fontfamily><param>Arial</param><smaller>Regards bunny </smaller></fontfamily> </excerpt><<<<<<<< Jonathan E.
