[jedi]

Just used "muz" tonight!!!  Some excellent 'aliases'!!!

[VastOne]

Thanks jedi!

I use muz quite a bit... If watching a movie or a something on TV I hear a song by someone I have not heard from before and after a google search I find it and use muz to get it...

It does it all for you.

I actually use a combination of the ones you put in, as well as a bunch of my own that had already from ones I have made over time to save time on things I was doing, as well as various INXI aliases that work quite well.

nice thread. 

on this #!-sid-o-tabularist x60t, currently:

alias running='PS_FORMAT="user,pid,pcpu,pmem,start,args" ps axf'
alias s='gksu'


and lots of other scripts (slowly starting to appear on gitorious), many which could just as easily be just an alias, but i suppose i change my .bashrc more often, and often neglect backing up, more than i do with my precious ~/bin.  the stuff in ~/bin i suppose is generally more "distro-agnostic".

some of those aliaai i've forgotten i had made... like "s". XD  and i keep forgetting i've made "dit", so that i need not type emacsclient, nor even less and then ctrl v, which then of course just lengthen's the closing as well as the opening.   hehe, si~   sorry, rambling.

aliases are cool.

[Digit]

added the ones from http://vsido.org/index.php/topic,21.0.html and suggests all distros get this as standard.

i just created "fime", to tell me the time in a friendly vocal human way.
so lovely i have to share. ^_^

#digit's flite aliases
alias fime='flite_time `date +%H:%M`'


[statmonkey]

That's a nice one Digit.  I have been meaning to add one I use a fair amount.  It just gives you a more visual summary of the directory you are in and the sub-tree.

alias alr='ls -R' #visual dir output

^ I like that one statmonkey, added to the default of VSIDO

Thanks!

[statmonkey]

Great.  I want to show some love for another of my favorites "tac" but I don't use it in an alias.  So I put it in my latest How-To.  But here is some detail from the LinuxJournal:

tac--Concatenate in Reverse

What is cat spelled backwards? Well, that's what tac's functionality is all about. It concatenates file order and their contents in reverse. So what's its usefulness? It can be used on any task that requires ordering elements in a last-in, first-out (LIFO) manner. Consider the following command line to list the three most recently established user accounts from the most recent through the least recent.

# (5) last 3 /etc/passwd records - in reverse
$ tail -3 /etc/passwd | tac
curly:x:1003:100:3rd Stooge:/homes/curly:/bin/ksh
larry:x:1002:100:2nd Stooge:/homes/larry:/bin/ksh
moe:x:1001:100:1st Stooge:/homes/moe:/bin/ksh

Another question somewhere reminded me of this one:
alias deps='apt-cache show' #with app will give you depends info etc.

^ Excellent one... Will add that one

alias mplayer="mplayer -af scaletempo"
^ enables changing the speed of mplayer without changing the pitch.  no chipmunks!

( "[" slower by 10%, "]" faster by 10%, "{" slower by half, "}" faster by double )

[Digit]

just tested that with mpv.  works the same.  i presume mplayer2 is same as mplayer too.   maybe smplayer and umplayer will also accept -af scaletempo

Just joined up here folks. This is my .bash_aliases after adding a few from your default.
