Hello,
Ive added an alias using command line alias aliasName='command' , using alias gives a full list as expected but how do i remove an alias from the command line. There is no associated man page and appears to be no --help switch i have tried alias -r aliasName (which seemed logical to me) doesnt remove the assocated alias. Can anyone advise me on how to do this?

Thanks

Try 'unalias'.
Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

well, i went to try my new found knowledge and found that my aliases no longer exist. I started a new console, added the alias, tested it - it worked. opened a new console typed alias and found my new defined alias had gone.
The alias i add seem to only apply to the current console, i tried adding the alias logged in as root but get the same problem.
how do i make the alias permanent?

What shell are you using?

open up your ~/.bashrc and define your alias' there.
aahh
i had looked for a similar file - i had searched for .cshrc (though, i think i flicked to unix mode for a second there as it doesnt appear to exist). Thanks, i will try that when i get home
