True, but even complex commands work as an alias. Command line optios
override ( some/all ) of the options embeded in the alias. See the
'rm' command for root in all versions of RH/fedora I have used since abt
4.2. It is an alias for 'rm -i' but the use of the -f option will
override that.
One note is that when you create an alias for a normal command, the
alias takes precedence. You can override this precedence by using the
full path to the normal command.
A smartly written script will allow additonal options to be used from
the command line as well.
