I have enjoyed reading the discussion on various aliases, as below. Some years ago working at Raytheon, there was an old guy, a Unix Weenie, whiskers, suspenders, plaid shirt and all., who had an "alias file" of many, many entries (which I have lost). Anyone else want to offer some neat, tricky, crafty additions for an (Linux) alias file ?
