Originally posted by isacklowok, here a few of my favorites
i have quite a few that are just shortcuts quickly ssh into my many servers. i have the same admin account on all my systems so i just setup an ssh-key with a blank password so i can quickly log in
Code:
alias <servername>="ssh <server>"
i always thought this should be the default view for lsmod
Code:
alias lsmod="lsmod | sort"
a quick shortcut when printing from the cli
Code:
alias print="/usr/bin/lpr-cups"
this one is one of my more heavily used ones. i use it to check for open ssh connections before i logout everynight. "$ psgrep ssh"
Code:
alias psgrep="ps -aux | grep -v grep | grep"
these 2 make sure i don't do something stupid when i am housecleaning
Code:
alias cp="cp -i"
alias mv="mv -i"
the next few are just to save me a few keystrokes
Code:
alias df="date&&df -h"
alias du="du -c -s -h"
alias grep="grep -r -i"
alias su="su -l"
alias ifconfig="/sbin/ifconfig"
this one is because i am just lazy
Code:
alias x="startx"
this one is on a specific server that has some very long mount paths. it just cleans up the output a bit
Code:
alias df="date&&df -h | grep -v iso | grep -v 10[.]11[.]12[.]253"
these are some new ones that i just haven't setup into a script yet. the first one mounts port 25/smtp from my mail server to my laptop so i don't need to run sendmail for smtp and i can always send mail no matter where i am and what isp i am on. i just set my mail app to use "localhost" for the smtp server. the second one allows me to easily connect to remote ipp/cups printers at my house and a private network while i am out and about. since i am the only one with shell access to all my systems i don't see the point in installing sudo to get root access. the user is needed in the ssh commands since i don't allow root to login via ssh.
Code:
alias smtp="su -c 'ssh -L 25:localhost:25 user@host -N -f'"
alias cups_home="su -c 'etc/rc.d/rc.cups stop&&ssh -L 631:localhost:631 user@host -N -f'"
