The bash(1) man page, in the ALIASES section, says:
Aliases are not expanded when the shell is not interactive,
unless the expand_aliases shell option is set using shopt (see
the description of shopt under SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).
When executing your script, the shell is not interactive. So
somewhere in your script, you need to put this command:
shopt -s expand_aliases
That will solve your alias expansion problem. Whether that is the
best solution to your overall problem, whatever it is, I don't know.
Regards,
Gary
