SOME ALIAS I USE

Here are some alias' I like to setup in my .profile or my .bash_profile files:

alias oal='tail -500f $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump/alert_$ORACLE_SID.log' --Last 500 Lines from the Oracle Alert Log

alias otrace='cd $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump' --Shortcut to CD to the Oracle Trace file directory.

alias init='cd $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/pfile' --Shortcut to CD to the pfile directory for the Oracle Initialization file.

alias dba='cd /home//dba' --Shortcut to CD to my DBA Scripts directory.

alias tns='cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin' --Shortcut to CD to the tnsnames.ora file directory.

alias psg='ps -ef |grep' --Shortcut to look at certain system processes. Use psg

alias ll='ls -ltarF' --List out in timestamp order (oldest to newest), including hidden files, and '/' on directories.

alias oadmin='cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin' --Shortcut to CD to the Oracle rdbms/admin directory.

alias lsd='ls -ltr | grep drw' --List only directories. Very handy with directories containing a lot of files.
