It created an executable file with name foobar alias on desktop but when i try to open it it says "chaitanya-pandits-macbook:~ chaitanya$ /Users/chaitanya/Desktop/ foobar\ alias ; exit; -bash: /Users/chaitanya/Desktop/foobar alias: cannot execute binary file
logout
[Process completed]"

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?


You're using an alias file; that's what you're doing wrong. As I said, only Carbon and certain AppKit classes resolve aliases. BASH doesn't use Carbon or AppKit; it uses lower level stuff that doesn't resolve aliases. You'll have to use links (hard or symbolic) instead.
