How to make alias to systemctl with autocomplete

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2014 / 2 Years ago, tue, november 16, 2021, 2:41:42

I tried

alias sct='systemctl'

complete -F _systemctl sct

But the function _systemctl is not found until I run the original command systemctl in the session. This function loads dynamically or somehow and contains many other same functions inside.

OS - Ubuntu 20.04

Create a file named /etc/bash_completion.d/systemctl:

if [[ -r /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/systemctl ]]; then

    . /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/systemctl && complete -F _systemctl systemctl sct

fi

^{You can restart bash-completion by sourcing . /etc/bash_completion}
