Problem assigning a command alias

[Jeff Carlin]

I am tring to make and alias called "dfp" for the following command:

df | awk '{printf("%-25s %4s %-20s \n",$1,$4,$7);}'

If I try:
alias dfp=df | awk '{printf("%-25s %4s %-20s \n",$1,$4,$7);}'

it takes it, but when I type dfp, I get an error in the awk part:
"Usage: awk [-F Character][-v Variable=Value][-f File|Commands][Variable=Value|File ...]"

I've tried other variations of quoting and receive errors with each attemp. Any of you Guru's want to take a stab at this?

you forgot single tick for entire command.

It should be like this:

alias dfp='df | awk '{printf("%-25s %4s %-20s \n",$1,$4,$7);}''

Disregard this post.

@IT_2007

I'm such a bonehead! I'm running dsh, a distributed shell where I can run commands across many systems at once.

I thought I was on all HP servers, but one was AIX. The command was, of course, not running on the AIX server.

Sorry!
