Bash Version: 3.1 Patch Level: 14 Release Status: release Description: Aliases don't work correctly in command substitution when in noninteractive mode. They do work when in interactive mode. Repeat-By: The following script illustrates the problem: #!/bin/bash alias foo=echo echo `foo hi` echo $(foo hi) When I call it, I get a "foo: command not found" error. However, if I insert those commands manually in my shell, they work as expected. _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
