Support Scripts Bundle aliases and functions, cont.

alias hg='history | grep -i' # type hg to grep through your history
alias eh='echo $SCSP_HOST' # to show your currently set SCSP_HOST
function “ch” that changes your current shell’s SCSP_HOST.
- Type: ch [new storage node ip]
- Then type: “eh” to confirm the change.
type: “logs” to quickly cd to /var/log/caringo on any system where that exists
alias xtar='tar zxvf' # to quickly unzip a .tgz extension tarball, type: “xtar blah.tgz”
type: “uploadtosupport [filename]” on a system connected to the internet to send a file to DataCore Support.
- It will prompt you to enter a customer name and ticket ID (like: SUP-1234)
type: nocomment [filename] to quickly output a file removing all of the comment lines that start with the # symbol.
- This lets you strip a configuration of all commented-out defaults so that you only see what’s changed.
There are several functions that do something to the last file (based on time changed) in a directory:
vilast, wclast, catlast, lesslast, taillast.
- These do the commands suggested by the characters before the word “last”.
- For example, type: “vilast” to start editing the file in the current directory that was most recently changed.
