How to execute a remote alias on a linux box? -

host b has alias defined

alias command='ps -aef|egrep "a|b"|egrep -v "c|grep|ksh|sshd|ssh|ps |tail|bash|su \-"' 

how can call alias box a?

ssh user@b "command" not work.

in bash

define function:

mycommand() {   ps -aef | \     egrep "a|b" | \     egrep -v "c|grep|ksh|sshd|ssh|ps |tail|bash|su -" } 

...and tell shell emit source function when generating remote command:

ssh user@b "$(declare -f mycommand); mycommand"

you can similar alias, eww:

# define alias locally alias mycommand='ps -aef|egrep "a|b"|egrep -v "c|grep|ksh|sshd|ssh|ps |tail|bash|su \-"'  ssh user@b bash -s <<eof shopt -s expand_aliases  # enable aliases on remote shell $(alias -p)              # dump aliases remote shell mycommand                # invoke desired alias eof 

note expand_aliases shell option: aliases default available only in interactive shells, , shell invoked command line passed argument not interactive.

in ksh

use typeset -f rather declare -f list functions:

ssh user@b "$(typeset -f); mycommand"
