Curious question that is directly related to this. This did work on my system; however, I'm not sure if this is something one wants to be doing. If one were to type literally:
"cp" -fr somedir somefile ~/
Would this defeat the alias (in bash)?
[ignacio@localhost ~]$ alias foo=bar [ignacio@localhost ~]$ foo bash: bar: command not found [ignacio@localhost ~]$ "foo" bash: foo: command not found [ignacio@localhost ~]$ \foo bash: foo: command not found
