Once the process terminates, you're naturally returned right back where you initiated it.</p> <p>A neat way to do this sort of thing is to set an alias in your shell. Something like:<br /> <div class="codeblock"><code>mjohn0882@cs:~/bin$ alias c=&quot;cd $HOME/public_html/CSE121; pwd&quot;<br />mjohn0882@cs:~/bin$ c<br />mjohn0882@cs:~/public_html/CSE121$</code></div>'</p> <p>Put that alias definition in your shell's init file (.bashrc?) and you'll have it for all new sessions. <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" class="smiley-content" /></p> Wed, 07 Feb 2007 19:52:23 +0000 Abhishek Reddy comment 1214688 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
