Sure is. The easiest and probably most convenient way to add a custom
command is to place it in your /home/user/bin folder. The Linux console
looks for programs in a series of folder in decreasing order of priority.
These folders are called the path. To see what folders are included in your
path type "echo $PATH" in a console window. Anything script or program you
put in /home/user/bin (even if the folder didn't previously exist) will be
automatically opened when you type it's name in a console window. Unless of
course there is another program already in your path by the same name, since
/home/user/bin is last in your path list, having least priorty, probably a
good thing. To write your own script, just open a new text document in your
favorite editor, type in the list of commands you would like to perform,
seperated by a ";"and save the text file into your /home/user/bin folder (or
any other folder in your path) then type the name of that file. For
instructions on slightly more complicated scripts (with if/then and while
statements etc.) check out

or search for some other pages on shell scripting (I'm interested in hearing
from people on other pages they might know of).
Hope this helps.
