title: Ubuntu: command works but as an alias it doesn'T
body: <pre><code>alias kdd=&quot;ps ax|grep -i docker|egrep -iv 'grep|com.docker.vmnetd'|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>i'm trying to kill docker desktop and its vm. (I'm inside a vm myself, virtualbox)</p>
  <p>pasting the command into the terminal has the desired effect, but calling the alias results in</p>
  <pre><code>Usage:
   kill [options] &lt;pid&gt; [...]
  </code></pre>
  <p>what do i need to change?</p>
