What are your favourite alias commands?

[Rytron]

Hi.
What are your favourite alias commands that you always put in the ~/.bashrc file?
Thanks.

I like to type instead. It makes me remember commands if I need to access on different system quickly.

I am not a supporter of alias to be honest.

alias x='startx'

Because I'm that lazy.

I did this recently, because I was getting annoyed at Xorg output on the terminal.

alias startx='startx >& ~/.Xoutput'

probably not a good idea .

[billgoldberg]

rm is aliased with the -I option, that's about it.

I guess it could be useful to replace sudo apt-get install with just install, but meh, I'm too lazy.

alias x='startx'

Because I'm that lazy.

haha! that's great.

I've still only got dial-up so I use this:

alias downloadrobust='wget --continue --read-timeout=10 --random-wait --retry-connrefused --tries=inf'

to download everything and anything, and I use this

alias goto='nautilus'

to open a nautilus window in a specific directory.

[Bodsda]

alias _p='sudo shutdown -P'
alias _r='sudo shutdown -r'

alias session='firefox http://ubuntuforums.org&; xchat&; rhythmbox&;'

alias restart_wicd='sudo killall wicd-client; sudo /etc/init.d/wicd stop; sudo /etc/init.d/wicd start; sudo wicd-client &'

[ibuclaw]

alias canhaz='sudo apt-get install'
alias nowantz='sudo apt-get --purge remove'
alias ninjaz='sudo vim'

[init1]

alias canhaz='sudo apt-get install'
alias nowantz='sudo apt-get --purge remove'
alias ninjaz='sudo vim'

LOL that's great
