B balanga Dec 4, 2023 #1 I want to set up an alias in .cshrc to do something like png 'x' ping -c3 192.168.1.'x' where 'x can be any number, so that entering png 3 will run ping -c3 192.168.1.3. Is this doable?

nxjoseph Dec 4, 2023 #2 I don't know how to do that in alias but i guess you can try function. This works in bash but i am not sure if this can work for csh too. png() { ping -c${1} 192.168.1.${1} }

VladiBG Dec 4, 2023 #3 ~/png.sh echo "ping -c$1 192.168.1.$1"; Click to expand... sh png.sh 1 ping -c1 192.168.1.1 Click to expand... ee ~/.cshrc alias png sh png.sh Click to expand... When you got the idea replace "echo" with the actual command ping -c$1 192.168.1.$1; Click to expand... If you want to pass 2 parameters you can use ping -c$1 192.168.1.$2; Click to expand... then png 1 10 will do ping -c1 192.168.1.10

I wouldn't have been able to work that out for myself, although I wanted -c3 so I've added alias png ping -c3 192.168.1.\!$ to my ~/.cshrc
