@johnwards it does that already after a fashion, but I see how naming it so would be amusing :)

How did this work out? Is it still your sudo alias?

@starsandrobots mkdir ~/bin && ln -s /usr/bin/man /Users/jdunck/bin/woman -
@jdunck hm - wouldn't you also need to add ~/bin to your path? Seems like that'd be better suited to a bash alias as well. -
@starsandrobots sure, I already have a ~/bin, though. :)

@starsandrobots Maybe when Cliff and I created sudo we should have named it that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SudoThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@starsandrobots@markjaquith Should alias "sudo !!" instead. Then when it's like "No permission" you can just say please to rerun as sudo - 1 more reply
