alias
From Initq
The alias command can be useful if you want to create a 'shortcut' to a command. The format is alias name='command'
To see a list of aliases set up on your linux box, just type alias at the prompt.
alias attrib='chmod' alias chdir='cd' alias copy='cp' alias cp='cp -i' alias d='dir' alias del='rm' alias deltree='rm -r' alias dir='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS --format=vertical' alias edit='pico' alias ff='whereis' alias ls='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS' alias mem='top' alias move='mv' alias mv='mv -i' alias pico='pico -w -z' alias rm='rm -i' alias search='grep' alias v='vdir' alias vdir='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS --format=long' alias which='type -path' alias wtf='watch -n 1 w -hs' alias wth='ps -uxa | more'
Alias go in the .bashrc file. To get rid of alias use the unalias command. the unalias -a command will get rid of all aliases.
