DOS Commands in Linux

At the time of work using the Linux console, maybe this is reminiscent of the DOS, frequent users will carry over to type DOS commands, of course, would be an error. For example the command:

# Cd ..

In DOS, this can run, but on Linux this command will generate an error message, because the 'cd' on Linux is a program, so the parameters that the program should be separated by spaces.

This can be overcome by using the alias command, his command is as follows:


# Alias cd ..= "cd .."

Alias command above will translate the command cd .. (No spaces) into a cd .. (With spaces). In order for these commands into a file. Bashsrc (dot bashrc), a dot in front indicates that the file is hidden.

Use a text editor to edit the file, then add the following line:

alias dir = "ls"
alias cd / = "cd /"
alias cd = "cd -"
alias cd ..= "cd .."
alias md = "mkdir"
alias rd = "rmdir-i"
alias rm = "rm-i"

add another alias that you want with the same format as above.
