Aliases with `-'

Hi, I would like to define an alias with some `-' characters into it, in my .bashrc. For example, if `this-is-my-alias' is my alias, I would use == alias 'this-is-my-alias'='some command to achieve' == It simply does not work. Why? I tried without `'' but emacs then stops highlighting the word,

Re: Aliases with `-'

Small note about highlighting — if you add quotes, emacs (and vim, and any other editor with syntax highlighting as well) thinks that it's a string and highlight it. If alias name isn't highlighted that doesn't mean that it won't work. So don't think about highlighting — everything works ;) Since

Lost the auto-upgrade applet

Hi, When I first installed debian, I got an auto-updater that would periodically offer me the chance to upgrade based on what was out of date. This has stopped appearing now, how do I get it back? I'm using Gnome and it appeared in the notification window by the clock. Thanks! Jim
