Another idea would to be to call sudo with the desired shell as argument (in order to inherit the aliases), followed by a command as argument to the shell (in order to execute a particular command), something like % sudo bash -c "my_command_alias" It may be possible that bash requires an additional argument to tell it to read ~/.bashrc when invoked in a non-interactive manner. Keep in mind that I haven't tried this solution because I don't use bash on a regular basis. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
