How to use awk inside C-shell alias?












0















I am adding an alias in C-Shell terminal as below



alias rs1 "p | grep -i 'container 1' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9"


Once the alias is added I can see alias is added as



rs1  p | grep -i 'container 1' | awk '{print }' | xargs kill -9 


Where I can see $2 is not present inside awk.



I also tried using awk "{print $2}" But using double quote inside awk is not working in suse12.
Any idea to solve this?

  • It looks like the trivial fix would be to backslash the dollar signs. If that doesn't help, switching to a sane shell would be my recommendation.

  • Also, don't use kill -9

After exploring a few ways, $2 is escaped and enclosed by double quotes as "$" it worked



alias rs1 "p | grep -i 'container 1' | awk '{print "$"2}' | xargs kill -9"


Which give alias result as



rs1  p | grep -i 'container 1' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
