Help Creating Command line shortcut!

[millwalll]

Hi all,

Need some help I always need to connect to a server using ssh and typing it is a pain. Is there a way to create a shorthand version so all I need to do is type Jim and it will run the full ssh -l blar blar blar I have tried to find this out but got confused as seen so many ways to do it. I am using mac os x 10.6.5

Thanks in advance, Sorry if this is really newbie question

I would add the following line to the hidden file named .bashrc in your home folder:

alias Jim="ssh -l blar blar blar"

(You may need to first create this file.)
