This question already has an answer here:
Why does sudo ignore aliases?
4 answers
My global preferences, alias cp='cp -iv', is ignored by sudo while using zsh.
I'm setting up a new system, and I'm trying out zsh for my user account. The root user still has bash. In /etc I have:
/etc/bash.bashrc
/etc/zsh/zshenv
Both of these have the above alias, alias cp='cp -iv'.
In the user's directories, neither of these contains the commands in the /etc global configs.
~/.zshenv
/root/.bashrc
If I switch to the root user su - and try to clobber a file with copy, I get the correct prompt, cp: overwrite 'fruits/apple.txt?'. The same for the home user. However, if I sudo the copy command for the home user while in zsh, the file is overwritten! Using bash, I've not experienced this problem before, so I don't have a clue where else to look.
bash command-line sudo zsh

That's the answer--alias expansion of sudo was required in/etc/zsh/zshenv.
