Although the above works, you will need to write 3 aliases.

Instead I suggest you use a function (assuming sudo is needed)

function kerio ()

    {

    case "$1" in

        start) sudo /etc/init.d/kerio-kvc start ;;

        stop) sudo /etc/init.d/kerio-kvc stop ;;

        restart) sudo /etc/init.d/kerio-kvc restart ;;

        *) echo 'usage kerio {start|stop|restart}' ;;

    esac

    }
