- first argument is the new name, the second the old name,
- and the other arguments are passed on to the variable.
- Example: If you want to use $alpha instead of ${beta gamma
- delta} then you have to write the following: alias alpha
- beta gamma delta . PS: Instead of creating an alias in the
- config you can also use environment variables. Example:
- Start conky like this: alpha="beta gamma delta" conky
