It would probably be possible to add the asterisk marker into the code to split the alias into minimal abbreviation + rest of alias, then add the latter to the former one letter at a time in a similar manner to the above.
Think this should do what you describe:
Of course for i in $(seq 0 ${#name}) can be used in place of the above for(( code for more compatibility with older shells, at the cost of some speed.

Hello,
I need to rediret the directory location at run time as:-
If I type cd /dir1/dir2 then it should take me to /dir1/dir3 at run time.
Inside dir1, both dir2 and dir3 directories are present.
Could anyone guild me over it?
Thanks

I have these mental shorthands, e.g., OPC for other people's code/children, so when a wise suggestion is ignored, I thought, pearls before swine, but the acronym PBS is already taken.
Maybe it's an inside joke? (0 Replies)

local-filesystems
local-filesystems(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual local-filesystems(7)NAME
local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted
SYNOPSIS
local-filesystems [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The local-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5). moun-
tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
activity.
This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated. Remember that some
users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem. For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.
This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.
EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:
start on local-filesystems
