Have fun with aliases

[SlickRick]

I've decided to make a thread where you can post funny aliases for commands.
These are some examples from the YKYAGW (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86237&page=527) thread.
It started with a lolspeak reference...


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.


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

[s.fox]

Yay, LOL CODE (sort of)

[jenkinbr]

Add the line
alias icanhaz='sudo apt-get install' to your ~/.bashrc

Add the following
#!/bin/bash
echo "<inseart list of packages to install here>"; to the file '~/bin/cheezburger', replacing the angle-bracketed text with the packages you want to install, seperated by a space. Then chmod it to 0744.

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'.

:D

[jenkinbr]

alias kill="xkill"

May not work because kill is an actual program name.

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"

[jenkinbr]

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.

[SlickRick]

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.

[Penguin Guy]

I'm going to call it lolscript.
I would advise using this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7082113&postcount=19) technique of adding lolscript.
Also 'sudo gedit ~/.bashrc' - 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!

[Penguin Guy]

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 please='sudo'
alias stupid='bash --restricted'
alias sudont='sudo -k'
alias ciao='logout'
alias moo='apt-get moo'
alias cow='apt-get moo'
apt-get requires sudo, so

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

[GepettoBR]

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

[sisco311]

apt-get requires sudo, so

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

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

[jenkinbr]

alias jenk='sudo apt-get'

/bad joke
Last time I tried running apt-get moo, I got an error, something like "apt-get: need to be root"

[SlickRick]

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. ;)

Oh no, my lolscript file is very real thank you. :p
The toggler script is also very real. :p

[SlickRick]

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.

[Penguin Guy]

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

alias sudu='try_again'

[unicycletim]

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

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

[SlickRick]

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"

[jenkinbr]

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>

Better?

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