Expanding aliases to full command before execution

[address@hidden]

Hi everyone,

In bash, is it possible to expand my aliases either before they are
executed or when they are stored in the history file?
For example, if I have:  alias ll='ls -l'  defined in my .bashrc, when I
execute "ll" from the command line, I'd like my history file to contain "ls
-l".  Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Justin
