I can't begin to explain how strange this is


I have run your script as posted on two different system both with fresh 
installs

heres the output[root at check39 ~]# sh test.sh
all aliases set
0

unalias cp and mv

test.sh: line 9: unalias: cp: not found
test.sh: line 10: unalias: mv: not found
0
[root at check39 ~]# alias
alias cp='cp -i'
alias l.='ls -d .* --color=tty'
alias ll='ls -l --color=tty'
alias ls='ls --color=tty'
alias rm='rm -i'
alias vi='vim'
alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot 
--show-tilde'
[root at check39 ~]#
.
