Apologies if the following question is already answered here. With several combinations of google search I couldnt find any answer.
How does one define an alias so as to run the command in background.
e.g. I would like to define an alias
$ > alias e='emacs'
But would like to put it in the background, which is similar to
$ > e a.txt &
But rather than giving the ampersand `&` every time, is it possible to incorporate it in alias command?
Thanks in advance

P.S.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with bash (4.2.24(1)-release).
