create a Pseudo command for lampp xampp

  • 772

How do I create a psuedo command for the terminal?

The basic command for lampp is:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

But I don't want to type this every time so can I create a psuedo for this so I can just type

lampp start
lampp startssl
lampp stop

and so forth so that lampp invokes sudo /opt/lampp/lampp.

command-line

    Edit your ~/.bashrc file and create aliases.

    It's quite simple, just add lines such as:

    alias lstart="sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start"

    Be careful when creating your aliases because you may create an alias which is name the same as something that already exists. Also, do not delete anything else in that file or your may find things breaking.

  2. Please type the below commmands after starting a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T:

    gedit ~/bashrc

    go to the end of the file and add the following alias to the standard lampp command:

    lampp(){ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp "$@" ;}

    press Ctrl+S to save and Alt+F4 to close gedit.

    This will bring you back to the terminal which you exit and re-open again. if you're on a TTY you need to type:

     source ~/bashrc

    Now you can use the lammp command normally, but as aliases get executed before normal commands, it'll look like you type sudo /opt/lampp/lampp every time you just type lampp
