| 354608 | 2005-05-12 23:30:00 | Hey, I remember doing it a while ago, but I can't remember how. I want to make an alias for a long command that I run on my server. The command I have to type is something like btdownloadheadless.py --minport 7010 --minport 7020 --maxupload 8192 name.of.torrent What i'd like to do is just be able to type seed name.of.torrent or something similar, and don't want to have to specify this everytime i reboot the machine (which is hardly ever mind you8) Cheers, Ash |
