Scripts for commands?

[Spacefreak]

I'm not the most savvy Linux command prompt user, and my usual venture into said realm involves my good friend Google. That said, there are many commands that I have run throughout my system setup that I thought, this would be really useful to remember for later. Since I only ran them once though, obviously I don't remember them. I could keep a book of commands, or make a text file and list every command I thought was nifty. What I really want to know though, is whether or not it's possible to write a script to run certain commands?

So that instead of keeping a text file or trying to remember them, I can just make a directory broken down by task type with various scripts to do certain things when I need to do them. It would help me greatly.

I don't quite get what you are trying to achieve, so sorry if I get it wrong and the following doesn't help you.

As I understood it, instead of ,for example, running 'mkdir some/directory' you would rather call it 'create_directory', so you can more easily remember it, but it achieves the same task?

If I got this right, then all you need is a script, most easily that would be in BASH. If that's the case, you've got two simple choices. Either define an alias in your ~/.bashrc, for example

That pretty much takes care of it. I just want to make a folder on my Desktop that has certain commands I can just execute by file name rather than look up the context and such. So, that solves it perfectly, thank you!

Your welcome

Don't forget, you can also assign shortcuts or create custom menus in your window manager/desktop environment. If your happy, please don't forget to add '[solved]' to the topics title, thanks.
