how to define user-defined commands in linux

mannoulla · 04-05-2005, 08:50 PM

hi,
so I've noticed I use the following 3 commands a lot, and would like to define a one line command for them:

%rm d1.out
% hspice d1.sp > d1.out
% awaves d1 &

I don't know how!

please help

edit ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile respectively) and add:

alias myd1='rm d1.out; hspice d1.sp > d1.out; awaves d1 &'

That's if you're using bash ;)
The % kind of suggests tcsh, if that's it have a look
at "man tcsh" and search for alias :}

Cheers,
Tink
