Using aliases with nohup

Question

Why doesn\'t the following work?

$ alias sayHello=\'/bin/echo \"Hello world!\"\'
$ sayHello 
    Hello world!
$ nohup sayHello
    nohup: appending output to `n         


        

Answer 1

For bash: Try doing nohup 'your_alias'. It works for me. I don't know why back quote is not shown. Put your alias within back quotes.
