Custom Commands
 

Why would you want to do that? On CentOS you'd just run "yum install whateverprogramyouwant", isn't that simple enough? creating such a trivial script to remove a lot of the flexibility seems really strange.

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

I agree with the Mod but if you want to understand the script then look at 'Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide'.

The above link and others available from 'Slackware-Links'. More than just Slackware® links!

Thanks
 

Thanks for your reply acid and onebuck. Actually Its Not Just For Downloading And Installing, I wanted to put some more custom commands, like restart-psy...to restart the psybnc etc etc. kind of shortcut keys. And Also Wanted to learn more, like I want to put some script in the motd which shows the name of the software and processes running like:

Number of IRCd's Running ..... (0)
Number Of PsyBnc's RUnning .... (3)
NUmber Of Eggdrop's Running .... (6)
etc etc.

Is there some pre-made scripts for this purpose available?

well certainly you could create them with a bash script:

#!/bin/bash
/etc/init.d/psybnc restart

or an alias:

alias restart-psy='/etc/init.d/psybnc restart'

But as above, it's a little too trivial to bother with I think. In terms of mining out additional data, then sure, a shell script or such would be ideal if there's nothing to do it already. Quite what it would actually do I couldn't say though...
