[kwlug-disc] Linux & Linux admin for newbies

[bob+kwlug at softscape.ca]

To put a slightly different spin on this, have a look at this out of my .bashrc file:

ssa () 
{
        # Add the key to the ssh-agent for the passed number of seconds 
        /usr/bin/ssh-add -t $1 $HOME/.ssh/key.*
}

I think I came up with this when I needed to put parameters in the middle of the command and I couldn't figure out how with alias which was perfectly happy when the parameters came at the end of the line. Can alias actually do this?
