Question exit command
Hi All,

Having just started using Unix after a long time on VMS, I end up having multiple Unix and VMS sessions open. Is there a way I can set up a symbol or something so that "lo" means "exit" and exits my session ?

On VMS, if I wanted to do the opposite of this I would do it like this :

exit :== lo

Then typing exit would issue the command lo (logout)

Thanks

I think you are asking about command alliasing.

alias lo="exit"

Siba

Ctrl d does the same as exit what could be easier?
