Drop the alias bit then and make it generic but you'll have to use a syntax that included the front end command e.g.: saveit find .... saveit grep ..... where "saveit" is your perl, tcl, or bash script. For example: ===== saveit ======= #!/usr/bin/tclsh set command [lindex $argv 0] set data [ exec $command] puts $data set fileId [ open command_output_file w 0600 ] puts $fileId $data close $fileId ==================== Of course this example will only work for a single argument like ls, df, du, etc. but it gives you the idea ...
