I never get tired of that one. :) > 1) What's the best way to alias ls? I currently have "alias ll="ls > -l"" in my .bash_aliases, but it displays more information than I'd > like.

I always type out ls -la. I guess this is because those aliases don't come preinstalled on the system and I never get around to setting them up on every system I work on (and I end up working on a lot of systems) so I just never got into that habit. > 2) What are those commands that do nifty things with processes?

I like piping ls through awk to pick out a column such as pid or ppid or process name and then feed that to kill or something. > 3) I like 'rename', but I like 'rename.pl' more, because learning Perl > is an ongoing project for me. hah...I remember asking how to rename a file 12 years ago when I was a Linux n00b. :) > 4) What the heck is 'lesspipe' for?

I've never used it myself but it seems to be taught in every basic unix class. -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
