Setting alias for a user - Linux ubuntu
Hi
i have a user "SYSTEM"
i want to set the below command in his .profile for an alias:
who | awk '{print $1}'| sed '/SYSTEM/d' | sed '/root/d' |xargs -i pkill -u {}
i tried as below:
alias stop = " who | awk '{print $1}'| sed '/SYSTEM/d' | sed '/root/d' |xargs -i pkill -u {}"
whenever i login as this user and type "stop"
i get the below:
pkill: invalid user name: joyce pts/2 Aug 19 00:34 (jm4tvk1.com)
pkill: invalid user name: joyce1 pts/3 Aug 19 00:35 (jm4tvk1.com)
Any idea why this is failing? Also i added this user in /etc/sudoers
