Escape any command from aliases
$ \[command]
Ex:
if "ls" is aliased for 'ls -ll', you can escape the alias by prepending a
backslash:
$ ls
WILL prompt for confirmation per the alias
$ \ls
will NOT prompt for confirmation per the default behaviour of the command.
Ex:
[suresh@mercury ~]$ alias ls="ll"
[suresh@mercury ~]$ ls
