Install a useful set of OS X specific command line apps
Authored by: mattmoss on Jun 02, '03 02:41:36PM

Why not? I do it all the time. If I need to use the original ls command, I simply type: /bin/ls

Assuming the alias is the one used more frequently, this works just peachy.

To temporarily drop the alias, just quote the command like so:
\ls
'ls'
"ls"

The reason not to is that shell scripts may use the command and fail.
