My understanding of aliases is I can not include additional parameters although I know virtually little about them. I do use links like these sv = service ipt = iptables etc. but have never knowingly used an alias. Don't forget I am a Linux novice. Everything I currently know I have taught myself either from books, experimentation or examples on this list or adapted from similar things from pre-Linux days. > > I call my script .arin > > > > .arin 64.64.64.64 > > > > produces a normal output. > > > Out of interest, have you thought about sending this through to the > NANOG (http://www.nanog.org/mailinglist/) list?
