Tired of typing big directory path to change to it frequently? (or)

Tired of typing big command frequently in Linux/Unix?

Have your own (small)shortcut command for those long commands.

Steps :

· Create a shell script(.sh) file with the (long)command that needs to be run frequently.

For example,

Create a file '/root/p.sh' and add the following 'cd' command to it.

-------------

cd /var/www/html

· Create an alias to that shell script.

For example,

alias w=’. /root/p.sh’

[Note: dot in the beginning makes the command to be executed in the same shell.]

Add this alias command in ‘.bashrc’ file (anywhere in the file)

Next time, to change to the ‘/var/www/html’ directory, just need to use the command ‘p’.

Note: Any long command(s) can be added to that shell script as required.

Typical commands sequence may be as follows,

vi /root/p.sh

cd /path/to/long/directory

!wq

vi .bashrc

alias w=’. /root/p.sh’
