ARES System Manual: exec Shell

(input) @alias [<name> [<...>]]: shows, creates, or alters aliases for the exec command <...>.
(input) @alias delete <name>: deletes an alias.

An alias is an alternative name for a command. Aliases are interpreted before commands are run by exec. For example, the default ps alias resolves to proc tasks detail (see proc). This can simply be called by the unit with @ps.

Arguments to aliases are allowed. For example, mapping the alias name to id name can be used to set the unit's name with @name <new-name> instead of @id name <new-name>.
