HP Configuring CLI hotkeys, Configuring command aliases

•To set the configuration file for next startup, type st s.

You can also press Tab to have an incomplete keyword automatically completed.

Configuring command aliases

The command alias function allows you to replace the first keyword of a command with your preferred keyword. For example, if you configure show as the replacement for the display keyword, then to execute the display xx command, you can input the command alias show xx.

Note the following guidelines when configuring a command alias:

•You can define and use a command alias but the command is not restored in its alias format.

•When you define a command alias, the cmdkey and alias arguments must be in their complete form.

•When you input an incomplete keyword that partially matches both a defined alias and the keyword of a command, the alias takes precedence. To execute the command whose keyword partially matches your input, input the complete keyword. When you input a character string that partially matches multiple aliases, the system gives you prompts.

•If you press Tab after you input an alias keyword, the original format of the keyword is displayed.

•You can replace only the first keyword of a non-undo command instead of the complete command. You can replace only the second keyword of undo commands.
