Thanks PxT. Great reply.
Here are a few example aliases from my .profile which I use in KSH:
Quote:
alias pp='pushd'
alias ls='ls -F'
alias ll='ls -l'
alias lless='ls -l | less'
alias mv='mv -iv'
alias rm='rm -iv'
alias cp='cp -iv'
alias x=exit
alias su='su -'
Perhaps readers not familar with aliasing will find these simple examples helpful. Aliasing in the shell can be used very effectively and provides super functionality, both on a per-user and global user basis (as PxT suggests).
