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.

Never heard of them. It see it is the North American Network Operators'
Group. Following your suggestion I will repost the item there.
