alias eclipse='/home/wx/eclipse/eclipse'
Add this to your startup scripts, e.g. .bashrc. This depends on the shell and
the distribution. In my case:
,----[ ~/.bashrc ]
| test -s /home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/Definitions/bashrc
| && . /home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/Definitions/bashrc
| [[ -f "/home/roy/.config/autopackage/paths-bash" ]] && .
| "/home/roy/.config/autopackage/paths-bash"
`----
/home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/Definitions/bashrc contains:
,----[ Contents ]
| echo Setting up aliases...
| echo
|
| . /home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/aliases.sh
`----
home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/aliases contains
,----[ Contents ]
| #!/bin/bash
|
| alias dir='ls -la --color=always'
| alias dir/p='ls -la --color=always |more'
| alias dir/w='ls --color=always -X'
| ...
`----
It can be made simpler by just including the last bits in .bashrc, but then
it's more prone to breakage.
Hope it helps,
Roy
