And of course, if you try this experiment, you'll want to be aware of the "unalias" command.instead of writing a shellscript you could also use aliases in the bash shell (don't know if it works in other shells though). to have your aliases available all the time, you can but them in your .bashrc file in your $HOME directory (you will probably already find some aliases defined in there). example: $ alias ls='cd' doesn't make much sense, but shows you how it works: ls is now defined as an alias for cd. so if you type 'ls /home' bash will actually invoke 'cd /home'
$ unalias ls will undo the above alias. $ alias will show you your current aliases. -- Kent
