I knew there had to be a way!
alias is good for string:string conversions, and probably just what
you want. If there ever comes a point where you want to have options
that get interpolated into the output string, then a function may be
the ticket.
I have a handful of machines in my home domain; I ssh into all of them
fairly regularly. I'm not a fan of using short hostnames for ssh
logins, so I have this habit of only using fully qualified domain
names. Of course, all that typing is a nuisance. So I conconcted a
simple function:
mli ()
{
ssh $1.madboa.com
}
So
mli clayton
becomes
ssh clayton.madboa.com
This works even better with bash's complete utility:
complete -W 'arrowhead clayton omega silver tunnel' mli
Which allows me to tab-complete hostnames from the shell prompt when
using the mli function.
A couple years ago, I posted to my web site a more complex example
that allows optional positional parameters:
