Subject: shell-command, its relatives, and aliases
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 09:27:57 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <C502E7C6-5AF8-4106-A937-4AB102D8FFFD@alum.mit.edu> (raw)
I would like to use aliases in (shell-command ...) or (call-process
region ...). Even if I tell the latter to behave as a login shell, and
make sure that the aliases are available to the login shell, I cannot
get them to execute.
The shell can see the aliases without any problem, because I can send
the -alias- command and get the list of aliases.
It seems to me that elisp is trying to see if the command is defined
before running it, instead of simply letting the shell chew on
whatever was sent to it. This could be a grave misconception.
In any case, is there are way to be able to use aliases within any of
the 'execute this line/region without starting a buffer with a shell'
commands?
Thanks,
Bill
