title: sudo being backgrounded not the command
body: <p>I have the following in my ~/.profile file...</p>
  
  <p><code>alias mysqlstart='sudo /opt/local/bin/mysqld_safe5 &amp;'</code></p>
  
  <p>However, when I type <code>$ mysqlstart</code>. I'm not asked for my password and mysql doesn't start.
  When I foreground the job, it's stuck on asking for my password.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way of setting the alias so the <code>/opt/local/bin/mysqld_safe5</code> is backgrounded not <code>sudo</code>?</p>
  
  <p>This is my shell's version information:</p>
  
  <p><code>GNU bash, version 4.2.37(2)-release (i386-apple-darwin11.3.0)</code></p>
