I think what yo want to do would be a command alias. Generally, these are setup in either the /etc/profile or in the individual users .bash_profileI want to do some shell trickery so that when a user enters a command like: ls -l the command is forwarded to another program as an argument. That is, what actually gets executed is: myprog "ls -l"
No, I don't think an alias would work - the argument isn't known ahead of time, so you can't define an alias.
