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.
