6.5 The Aliases file

You will find a file in /spider/cmd/ called Aliases. First, copy this file to -/spider/local_cmd/Aliases and edit this file. You will see something like this ... +

You will find a file in /spider/cmd/ called Aliases. This is the file that +controls what a user gets when issuing a command. It is also possible to +create your own aliases for databases and files you create locally. +

+

You should not alter the original file in /spider/cmd/ but create a new file +with the same name in /spider/local_cmd. This means that any new Aliases files +that is downloaded will not overwrite your self created Aliases and also that +you do not override any new Aliases with your copy in /spider/local_cmd/. You +must remember that any files you store in /spider/local/ or /spider/local_cmd +override the originals if the same lines are used in both files. +

+

The best way of dealing with all this then is to only put your own locally +created Aliases in the copy in /spider/local_cmd. The example below is +currently in use at GB7MBC.

You can create aliases for commands at will. Beware though, these may not -always turn out as you think. Care is needed and you need to test the -results once you have set an alias. +

Each alphabetical section should be preceded by the initial letter and the section +should be wrapped in square brackets as you can see. The syntax is straightforward. +The first section on each line is the new command that will be allowed once the +alias is included. The second section is the command it is replacing and the last +section is the actual command that is being used. +

+

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that in the first section, the new +alias command has a '^' at the start and a '$' at the end. Basically these force +a perfect match on the alias. The '^' says match the beginning exactly and the +'$' says match the end exactly. This prevents unwanted and unintentional matches +with similar commands. +

+

I have 3 different types of alias in this file. At the top is an alias for 'news'. +This is a file I have created in the /spider/packclus/ directory where I can inform +users of new developments or points of interest. In it's initial form a user would +have to use the command type news. The alias allows them to simply type +news to get the info. Second is an alias for the show/qrz +command so that those users used to the original show/buck command in +AK1A will not get an error, and the rest of the lines are for locally created +databases so that a user can type show/hftest instead of having to use +the command dbshow hftest which is not as intuitive. +

+

This file is just an example and you should edit it to your own requirements. +Once created, simply issue the command load/alias at the cluster +prompt as the sysop user and the aliases should be available. +

Basically these force a perfect match on the alias. The '^' + says match the beginning exactly and the with similar commands. + I have 3 different types of alias in this file. At the top is an + alias for 'news'. This is a file I have created in the + /spider/packclus/ directory where I can inform users of new + developments or points of interest. In it's initial form a user would + have to use the command type news. The alias allows them to simply + type news to get the info. Second is an alias for the show/qrz + command so that those users used to the original show/buck command in + AK1A will not get an error, and the rest of the lines are for locally + created databases so that a user can type show/hftest instead of + having to use the command dbshow hftest which is not as intuitive. + This file is just an example and you should edit it to your own + requirements. Once created, simply issue the command load/alias at + the cluster prompt as the sysop user and the aliases should be + available. - You can create aliases for commands at will. Beware though, these may - not always turn out as you think. Care is needed and you need to test - the results once you have set an alias. 6.6.
