Please do not use words such as urgent next time. Saying that pretty much makes us NOT want to reply. Thanks for understanding,

alias in linux
 

with the help of following command we can create alias of linux command
alias <alias_name>="<alias_value>"
e.g
alias goto="cd/home/vishwajeet/database/"

when we type "goto" at the shell prompt then it will change the pwd to /home/vishwajeet/database/

The alias created above is temporary and exits only for the current seesion.
To make it work permanently we should add this alias to .bash_profile file.
cd /root
vim .bash_profile
alias goto="cd/home/vishwajeet/database/"

:wq

...Um, what's the question? :(

Vishwajeet, is your second post the solution to your original problem? If it is, mark the thread as [SOLVED] --- if you're logged in, you'll see the relevant link at the top of the thread.

Thanks!
