Topic: shortcuts

[Scott Smith]

I have found it very handy to add the following symbolic links:

ln -s /home/e-smith/files/primary /web
ln -s /home/e-smith/files/ibays /ibays
ln -s /home/e-smith/files/users /users

I'm just lazy and don't like all the typing

Though not the same, you can use also use the ~ shortcut. E.g.

cd ~frog

will go to the frog ibay or user directory.

cd ~admin

will go to /home/e-smith
