How to alias an awk command with single and double quotes?
Hi,
I am trying to write the following command as an alias in my .bashrc file.
bjobs -u all | awk '{if (NR > 1) {username[$2]++;}}END{{print"\nJOBS BY USER:\n"} for (i in username) {print username,i;}{print"\n Total Jobs=",NR-1,"\n" }}'
The command simply puts how many jobs each user is running and works correctly from the command line.
How do I write it in my .bashrc file, given that the format of the alias command is:
[i]alias aliasname='command';
Obviously the following does not work since two instances of single quotes get confused:
alias bju='bjobs -u all | awk '{if (NR > 1) {username[$2]++;}}END{{print"\nJOBS BY USER:\n"} for (i in username) {print username[i],i;}{print"\n Total Jobs=",NR-1,"\n" }}' ';
I tried using double quotes around awk and escaping the double quotes inside the command but that has not worked.
Please help if you can.
