DZone Snippets: alias code

Really Kill Rails (as well as Restart)

justinwr (Justin R) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 04:11:20 GMT

More lovely alias commands... this time to kill/restart Rail's script/server from any Terminal session or login on your box... (as long as your the same user).



alias dierails='ps -a|grep "/usr/local/bin/ruby script/server"|grep -v "grep /usr"|cut -d " " -f1|xargs -n 1 kill -KILL $1'

alias resetrails='ps -a|grep "/usr/local/bin/ruby script/server"|grep -v "grep /usr"|cut -d " " -f1|xargs -n 1 kill -HUP $1'

Alias to a Nice Default Gitk

Just a really quick and easy shell alias for my preferred defaults for Git's repository and branch viewer, Gitk.

This runs "gitk"...
...including all branches,
...outputting errors to the black hole,
...and any extra command-line arguments.



# Run like this

# gitk --since="2 days ago" &



alias gitk="gitk --all $1 2>/dev/null"

Localizing a dialect with ALIAS

; Localizing a dialect; obviously just a basic idea.



alias 'who   "welche"

alias 'where "wo"

alias 'when  "wann"



rule: [

    some [

        'who   set persons [word! | block!] |

        'where set place string! |

        'when  set time time!

    ]

    to end

]



time: place: persons: none

parse [

    who   Fred

    where "Your house"

    when  9:30

] rule

print [time place persons]



time: place: persons: none

parse [

    welche Karl

    wo     "Euer Haus"

    wann   11:30

] rule

print [time place persons]
