I spend most of my working
day on a number of AIX servers. Out of the box, AIX has a minimal .profile
script – does nothing more than check your mail and let you know if you
have any. Consequently, the first thing I set up are a collection of aliases
for commonly used commands… usually switching on the interactive switch
on destructive commands such as rm plus setting the prompt to show me the
machine I’m logged in to.

I wondered how many of
you customise the default .bashrc file on your Ubuntu installations. My own
.bashrc runs to something like 40k now (I have no idea of what it actually is
but it’s over a thousand lines).


Â*


Anyone care to share
any particularly useful functions, aliases, prompts or any other code?

I hope you will always remember that commands are destructive if you sit
at machines you don't own. There is a reason why I don't use those
aliases any longer.

Here are some of mine:

alias gdb='gdb -q'
alias man='man -a'
alias top='top -i'
alias md='mkdir -p'
alias rot13='gcipher -C Rot -k 13'
alias play='play -q'
alias dif='diff -dtprU 6 -x bin -x "*.[ao]" -x "*.obj" -x "*~"'

PS1='w/ >[33[m] '
[ "$UID" = 0 ] && PS1='[33[01m33[41m33[37m]h: w/ #[33[m] '

That's cute - I have a different set of colours for root, but I hadn't
thought to automate it. Making notes....
I do like my more verbose one though...
PS1="[
33[1;37m] u
H
w
[33[1;33m]==> [33[0m]"

also I use these...

alias dirlist='find . -type d -ls -maxdepth 1'
alias envdump='perl -mstrict -MData:umper -we 'print Dumper \%ENV;'
alias cd..='cd ..'


Have you guys ever looked at http://dotfiles.org ? Seems like lots of
good stuff there - just hard to find...
e.g. http://dotfiles.org/~inky/.bashrc

Here is a bash function I use to copy SVN trees excluding the meta data.

function rs_exclude () { rsync -az --exclude .svn $*; }

Doesn't "env" give you the same information?

Hmmm. Yep - looks like it. I remember tripping over that one liner
when I was trying to debug a perl cgi script. Was just the ticket. I
don't remember now why exactly why it migrated to my shell, but it's
been there a long time now. The layout is a little better I
suppose... There must have been another reason, but it escapes me
right now.
