If you want to supply parameters, it has to be a function definition. You don't need an alias to call a function.

Thanks RudiC. 'Cheated' a little bit and make it like below:

Code:
 
df -k /db/test01 | awk 'NR==1 {CNV=1024*1024;GBYTES="GBytes";FMT="%-15s %-10s %-10s %-10s %10s %-s\n"; printf FMT, $1, GBYTES, $3, $4, $5, $6; next} {printf FMT,$1,$2/CNV,$3/CNV,$4/CNV,$5,$6}'

BTW, as for using function, I think I should have say a subroutine instead maybe?

What I am trying to do is to emulate something I found in commandlinefu.com below which is finding big sized files.

Code:
 
alias bigfile='BIG() { cd ${2:-/u01/app/oracle} ; echo "`pwd` :: Finding files that are >= ${1-100}M ..." ; echo ; find . -size +${1:-100}M -ls; }; BIG $1 $2'

The bigfile alias works fine albeit ksh on RedHat Linux.

So I am wanting to do the simialr thing for the df -k | awk thing where I pass a first an argument but I am having problem passing a parameter / argument. Not sure if I've explained well what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks again for your reply.
