alias

[sreedhar2u]

I want to add alias for ux2dos and dos2ux as unix2dos,dos2unix. In which file I need to add these aliases, so that these aliases are available to all the users of the system.

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

Consider to add the alias command to the profile or maybe better set a link!

Example:

ln -s /usr/contrib/bin/ux2dos /usr/contrib/bin/unix2dos

Check where the binaries are!

Hi:

Add a line like this to your '.profile':

alias 'dodos=/usr/bin/ux2dos'

Now when you simply do:

# alias

(or):

# alias dodos

...you will see 'dodos' as an alias command.

To dynamically remove the command, do:

# unalias dodos

Regards!
