Soundtraining Net Blog Creating Global Aliases in Linux (CentOS 7/RHEL 7)

If you're like me and like to use aliases to simplify administration of your Linux servers, here's the easy way to create global aliases for all users.Create a file in /etc/profile.d such as aliases.sh.Add your aliases to the file.Log off and log back on.Your aliases should work.As an example, I do a lot of administration through my smart phone (Nexus 6P on Google Fi), so I hate typing long commands. The two commands I use more than any others are "sudo yum -y update" and "exit". (Okay, "exit" isn't a long command, but still...)Here's the contents of the aliases.sh file I created in /etc/profile.d:alias yu="sudo yum -y update"alias x="exit"Now, all I have to do to run a yum update is type "yu" and all I have to do to exit is type "x".I can (and will) add whatever other aliases I want to simplify my life to /etc/profile.d/aliases.sh.Hope that helps.Peace.
