Alias Question

[xxarmoxx]

I want to create an alias so when I type "con" it does the following command: ssh myserver.com

how can I do this?

When you type "con" where? I'm assuming your wanting a Terminal alias command? Explain a little more please.

[xxarmoxx]

yes, through the terminal, forgot to mention that

It's pretty simple. Follow these directions:

In bash, the alias command looks like this:

alias goQuick="cd /some/really/really/long/path/you/do/not/want/to/type"

Put this in ~/.bash_profile then log out and log back in. Now you can use goQuick as a shortcut to that long command. Awesome!

You can edit .bash_profile with 'pico ~/.bash_profile' or probably with 'open ~/.bash_profile'
