Alias to allow aliases with sudo
alias sudo='sudo 'I am a big fan of using command aliases on my Linux systems. If you are too you may have also been hit by the command not found error when attempting to run sudo <alias>.
As an example I have an alias for ls, which is based on the ll alias common on Red Hat systems
alias ll='ls -lahF --color=auto'If you try to run as sudo it won’t work
sudo ll
sudo: ll: command not foundWe can change that by adding another alias
alias sudo='sudo 'Now we can run our aliases as sudo. This also works for unbuffer, which as I mentioned in a previous post doesn’t recognise aliases.
alias unbuffer='unbuffer '
unbuffer ap playbook.yml | tee results.outDo you have any fun alias hacks?
