bit different from centos\ubuntu

Since you are using a shell add the alias to the profile.

My understanding is the profile can be found at either
System: /etc/profile
User: ~/.profile

For CentOS, that’s easy. Make new file or edit existing as follow:

Code:

nano /.bash_aliases

Add new line

Code:

alias log-ssh="cat /var/log/secure"

Where log-ssh (short command)
And cat /var/log/secure (Any SSH command)
Save file by press Ctrl + X then y Enter

Now use command source to load aliases

Code:

source /.bash_aliases

Try to type

Code:

log-ssh

Let me know if it works for you =)) best of luck
