Then why are you asking a non-Linux question in a Linux group?

Try a Mac newsgroup, or comp.unix.shell if you think it's not
platform-specific.

I apologize that I posted my question in a wrong group. I thought that the
"sudo" issue was cross-platform. Mac is on unix and the shell is bash. And
I thought that it might be better answered here because most mac users
only use GUI.

Not sure about OSX but aliases are defined by the alias xx=commands or
executing alias while sudo is in effect itself an alias, ie,
alias sudo="su && command"

You could define the aliases commands in /etc/bash.bashrc or whatever
bashrc is the boot bashrc, or in a file executed by boot process (init.d),
or in the sudoers file.
