Alias to Launch Python .py Script

Viewed 4649

I am trying to create an Alias to launch mystepper6.py and moveit.py and sudo ps ax by placing the following alias' in sudo nano ~/.bashrc (Note: I am using Python 2 for this script.)

reboot='sudo reboot'
ax='sudo ps ax'
runstepper='python home/pi/mystepper6.py'
moveit='sudo python home/pi/moveit.py'

The alias reboot works fine but none of the others work at all. All I get is "bash: runstepper: command not found".

I am doing this because I am trying to control my webcam on my Raspberry Pi 2 using my iPhone with the iFreeRDP app. I use remote desktop connection from my Windows 10 laptop. The problem with this app and some other similar apps, is that the period and space keys do not function (it is a know reported issue). This makes typing full commands impossible.

Incidentally, I tried to use the VNC Viewer iPhone app and got my Raspberry Pi 2 hijacked when I loaded the required software onto the RPi2 requiring me to get a new SD card. Fortunately, I just cloned my SD card a few hours prior. Long story, but I am very weary about using VNC Viewer now.

Please help me with my alias' so I can either type one word with no spaces or periods or create a desktop short cut that I can double click so I can use it as a workaround for the deficiencies of these otherwise good apps. I am not sure the Ctrl + C works on the app keyboards either, so a short cut for that would be good as well.
