Hello,
I'm attempting to configure shell settings in my new Macbook. The standard unix command line 'alias' doesn't seem to be working:
Is there some new, strange syntax of which I am not aware?
Thanks!

I want to create a command alias. I know what shell I'm
using, I just don't know which file to inter the command alias.
When I type "echo $SHELL" the output is as follows:
bin/sh
If I'm correct, this is the bourne shell. Does anyone know which file to edit in this particular shell? Thanks. (2 Replies)
Hi,
i want to make alias for rm command. It should actually move the file to a directory in my home.
Say if i type
%rm abc.txt
the command should expand to
%mv abc.txt ~ashishp/trash
How should I write the alias for this?

Some Unix systems won't enable you to do the following. What danger do you see lurking in this alias?
(a) alias who (b)who -a
Do you know it? Thanks! (1 Reply)

how do I alias the following command:

My problem is how do I get a listing of only directories?

Hi there,
I'm trying to setup sudo privileges for a user, Oracle in this case, to run Unix commands like mv,chmod, chown, mkdir, rmdir against their own set of commands or scripts.
Is there an easier way to do this than to give Unix commands for each of their respective commands as shown below... (2 Replies)

resize
resize(1X)resize(1X)NAME
resize - set TERMCAP and terminal settings to current xterm window size
SYNOPSIS
resize [-u] [-c] [-s[row col]]
OPTIONS
The following options may be used with resize: This option indicates that Bourne shell commands should be generated even if the user's cur-
rent shell is not /bin/sh. This option indicates that C shell commands should be generated even if the user's current shell is not
/bin/csh. This option indicates that Sun console escape sequences will be used instead of the special xterm escape code. If rows and col-
umns are given, resize will ask the xterm to resize itself. However, the window manager may choose to disallow the change.
DESCRIPTION
The resize command prints a shell command for setting the TERM and TERMCAP environment variables to indicate the current size of xterm win-
dow from which the command is run. For this output to take effect, resize must either be evaluated as part of the command line (usually
done with a shell alias or function) or else redirected to a file which can then be read in. From the C shell (usually known as /bin/csh),
the following alias could be defined in the user's
% alias rs 'set noglob; eval `resize`'
After resizing the window, the user would type: % rs
Users of versions of the Bourne shell (usually known as /bin/sh) that do not have command functions will need to send the output to a tem-
porary file and the read it back in with the "." command:
$ resize > /tmp/out
$ . /tmp/out
FILES
for the base termcap entry to modify. user's alias for the command.
BUGS
The -u or -c must appear to the left of -s if both are specified.
