to type the same thing over and over again in a very repetative way that seems to copy that which was just written, it seems, is a very nimious way to do things which are repetative.

way better than making files in /usr/local/bin... don't you always think to yourself "self, who's connected to my box right now" or maybe "why the hell does openbsd require one to type ifconfig -a when linux knows what to do without the -a

alias sshsomeplace='ssh jim@hotmail.org'
alias i='ifconfig -a'
alias l='clear;exit'
alias es='netstat -na |grep -i esta |grep -v 127.0.0.1 |sort -n -t. -k2'
alias li='netstat -na |grep -i list |grep -v 127.0.0.1 |sort -n -t. -k2'
alias cls='clear;ls'
