Your sentence here doesn't make much sense to me, but I'm going to guess that you mean to say that while you can put single quotes around the arguments in an interactive shell, you can't do that from an alias or "another script". Which is obviously untrue. It sounds to me like you need to learn to use quotes in your shell a bit better. Here are some examples that should demonstrate how you might accomplish what you're after. tmux new '/usr/local/bin/patch_all.sh -H "host1 host2 host3"' alias foo="tmux new '/usr/local/bin/patch_all.sh -H \"host1 host2 host3\"' or alias foo='tmux new '\''/usr/local/bin/patch_all.sh -H "host1 host2 host3"'\' (Please excuse the line-wrapping.) -- Micah J.
