Instead of adding the alias to the .bashrc file put it in .bash_aliases. I have quite a few aliases that I use frequently and it keeps them very neat.

This is an excerpt from the .bashrc file:

# Alias definitions.
# You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
# ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.”

Other than that one little thing you have a pretty great article.

Thanks,
john

Hi Arron,

The only thing that could have made your article better would have been defining the difference between LOAD, ACTIVE, and SUB.

What does it mean to be loaded?
What does it mean to be active?

Running seems self-explanatory, but the idea of “active” can be a bit ambiguous.

Thank you for your article. Great job.

Oh, by the way, my interest in your article comes from a Service library that I am creating.
