The shell sees "nohup" as the command and doesn't do alias expansion
on "xterm". How about including the nohup *IN* the alias?

Subject: Aliases - Expanded or not?

I'm trying to implement a simple Alias so that when I invoke the xterm
command (via `nohup xterm &`) that I can get the Title to become the
title of the server.
I already have the following defined in .bashrc
alias xterm='xterm -s -T access2 '
I have also tested the invoking Window, and the Newly Launched Window,
Both of them have the proper definition of the xterm alias.
So why doesn't `nohup xterm &` work? If I invoke xterm & that works
fine. However I cannot close the launching window or return to the
Server which initiated the original connection.
Does anyone have any ideas?
