Bash Tips: Call aliases from shell your script

Use 'shopt -s expand_aliases' from your script to expand aliases:

$ cat aliases.sh  #!/bin/bash alias ll='ls -lFh' type ll $ ./aliases.sh ./aliases.sh: line 5: type: ll: not found

$ cat aliases.sh  #!/bin/bash shopt -s expand_aliases alias ll='ls -lFh' type ll $ ./aliases.sh  ll is aliased to `ls -lFh'
