Have fun with aliases

I've decided to make a thread where you can post funny aliases for commands. These are some examples from the YKYAGW thread. It started with a lolspeak reference...

SlickRick said: YKYAGW yur .bashrc file now looks like dis

alias do_want='sudo apt-get install'
alias do_not_want='sudo apt-get remove'
alias i_can_haz='sudo apt-get install'
alias im_in_yur='cd'
alias kthxbai='exit'
alias invisbl='fg' #send job to foreground
alias visabl='echo'
alias caturday='date'
alias not_amuzed='killall'
alias oh_noez='reboot'
alias nomnomnom='rm'
alias rly='sudo'

If anyone haz suggestions on how I could improve it, plz feel free to mention them but those are the commands I mostly use. Apart from 'fg' but I couldn't have visabl and not have invisabl.

GepettoBR said: I tip my hat to you, and I have some suggestions:

alias longcat='less'
alias all_ur_base='cd /'
alias d00d='man'
alias lolcat='cat'
alias OC='sudo apt-get update'
alias srs_bsns='sudo su'

EDIT: Does alias accept wildcards? If so, alias wat $1='$1 --help' is also funneh.

you add these to your .bashrc file in your home folder. To edit it, simply type ``` sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

Yay, LOL CODE (sort of)

Add the line ``` alias icanhaz='sudo apt-get install'

Add the following ```
#!/bin/bash
echo "<inseart list of packages to install here>";

then, using the above, run `` icanhaz cheezburger`

alias give_me_teh_lolz='fortune'

You *MAY* need to install some of the extra fortune cookie packages from synaptic for this to really give you 'teh lolz'.

too much. :lolflag:

alias "shoopdawhoop"="echo BLRAAA"

alias soud="sudo"

alias die="sudo halt"

alias kill="xkill"

alias iwant="sudo apt-get install"

alias entertainme="xmmc"

alias dance="echo no"

alias whosyourmother="echo your mom"

:D

alias kill="xkill"

May not work because kill is an actual program name.

alias bump='firefox -url http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520091'

Awesome :)

alias goodnight_sweet_prince='sudo shutdown -h now'#halt
alias brb='sudo shutdown -r now'#reboot

does anyone know how to change bash autput, like instead of "Sorry, try again" for an incorect password it could say "EPIC FAIL, u typedz in teh rong paswurdzor"

I think those are built in to bash and sudo and such. You *could* try to mod them with a hex editor, although I would not try this. Better yet, rebuid them from source. ;)

If we're on the subject of rebuilding it from source, we could embed the aliases in the new version, and it would be the birth of a new package: lolbash.

Of course, a part of it'd be Debian-only, since it aliases apt-get... though through a build script we could probably probe the system to see what package manager it uses and select the appropriate aliases for yum, pacman, etc... it would no doubt be a fun project, albeit a completely useless one.

I would be up for it, if I knew how to actually do that. I got a cool name though, the :lolflag:-again shell. You see what I did there?

SlickRick said: I would be up for it, if I knew how to actually do that. I got a cool name though, the :lolflag:-again shell. You see what I did there?

Yes, I do. And the acronym is cool as well: Lash.

I'm going to call it lolscript. I would advise using [[COLOR="Blue"]this[/COLOR]]("http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7082113&postcount=19") technique of adding lolscript. Also '[COLOR="Green"]sudo gedit ~/.bashrc[/COLOR]' - sudo is not necessary.

*Teh Simpsons Already Did It*

export VISUAL=gedit && sudo -E visudo

append the *Defaults* line with *, insults*

Defaults env_editor, insults

sudo -K
sudo echo insults #type an incorrect password
Password: 
Take a stress pill and think things over.
Password: 
You gotta go owwwww!
Password: 
No soap, honkie-lips.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

or if for a custom message:

Defaults env_editor, badpass_message="EPIC FAIL, u typedz in teh rong paswurdzor!!!"

sudo -K
sudo echo f00l
Password: 
EPIC FAIL, u typedz in teh rong paswurdzor!!!

How to Make a dedicated Lolscript Folder Feel free to replace lolscript with a name of your choice.

Open terminal and type:

gedit ~/.bashrc

It will open a file; copy and paste this at the end:

# Lolscript:
if [ -f ~/lolscript ]; then
    . ~/lolscript
fi

Save the file, quit gedit, go back to the terminal and type:

cat > lolscript

Now exit the terminal, open Nautilus and browse to your home directory. You should see a file called lolscript. You can add any aliases you want in there, and if there are any problems; just delete the file and reboot, all will be returned to normal.

*Have fun!*

Somebody has already thought of something like this, lol!

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A VAR
IM IN YR LOOP
	UP VAR!!1
	VISIBLE VAR
	IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10? KTHXBYE
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE

I guess I'll just call it Roflscript instead...

Here's some I just thunked up:

alias gimme='sudo apt-get install' alias getlost='sudo apt-get remove' alias goaway='rm' alias please='sudo' alias stupid='bash --restricted' alias sudont='sudo -k' alias ciao='logout' alias moo='apt-get moo' alias cow='apt-get moo'

alias moo='sudo apt-get moo' alias cow='sudo apt-get moo'

Setting alias OMG_HOW_DID_I_GET_HERE_I_AM_NOT_GOOD_WITH_COMPUTER='pwd' isn't very practical.

jenkinbr said: apt-get requires sudo, so

nope, you can run some of the apt commands as an user:

apt-get moo
apt-cache search moo
apt-cache show xtux

alias jenk='sudo apt-get'
alias in='install'
alias br='brain'
$jenk in br

/bad joke

you can only have one alias per command. If you write one and then another one, the second one over-writes it

Spoilsport. :p

Anyway, I think this thread left the realm of reality a long time ago. ;)

lukjad007 said: Spoilsport. :p

Anyway, I think this thread left the realm of reality a long time ago. ;) Oh no, my lolscript file is very real thank you. :p The toggler script is also very real. :p

I don't really see the point in that toggler script, since you can still use the original commands even if they have aliases

for example,

alias pewpewpew='xkill'

allows me to say pewpewpew when I want to get the little skull up and close an unresponding window. However, typing xkill still has the same effect.

You have a point - I'll probably keep it on all the time now.

alias sudu='try_again' alias sodu='nope' alias dosu='NO' alias duso="sigh" alias sdou='nononononononono'

these are awesome. i copied heaps. here are my ones

alias pwn='rm'
alias beyeclean='sudo apt-get autoremove'

lukjad007 said: alias sudu='try_again'

alias sodu='nope' alias dosu='NO' alias duso="sigh" alias sdou='nononononononono'

I laughed at first but this doesn't make sense now. Neither of those are commands, so I don't think you can alias them and what's the point?. If you type in "nope" it would be the same as typing in "sodu" and the terminal would echo "bash: sodu: command not found"

unicycletim said: these are awesome. i copied heaps. here are my ones

alias pwn='rm'
alias beyeclean='sudo apt-get autoremove'

I would rather see pwn as:

alias pwn='chown jenkinbr:jenkinbr'

Of course, you would have to replace the 'jenkinbr:jenkinbr' with your <username>:<groupname>

Thanks. That was what I was going for, but didn't know how. :)

I'm confuzzeled

SlickRick said: I'm confuzzeled

When he said 'alias duso="sigh"', he *meant* to say 'alias duso="echo 'sigh'"'.

These two came to me in my sleep

I'm also trying to think of a way to rickroll someone using the terminal

That should do it.

How could this thread be complete without:

someone already mentioned that on page three. You obviously didn't read the whole thread and therefore, your life isn't complete :p

LMAO, not meaning to hijack but i did something similar to a college before on one of our Linux Test Servers that he logs into develop web apps. Pasted this in the bottom of his .bashrc

echo "WATCHME"
echo " "
echo "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0"
echo " "
echo " "

echo "Did you watch the video? (y/n)"

Use the script from [here]("http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2008/02/you-can-has-lolcats-with-ruby-and-gtk.ars") instead of fortune. :)
