Would anyone have any ksh functions/aliases they'd like to post.
Here's some I use all the time; fairly simple minded but very useful.
These use Unix* 5.0 commands.

alias -x ag='alias | fgrep'
alias -x all='find . -print'
alias -x l='ls -l'
alias -x lp='/usr/bin/lp -dcent'
alias -x lpstat='/usr/bin/lpstat -o | grep -v "^-0"'
alias -x news='readnews -n cb.general scc.general \
	scc.darn scc.generic net.sources'
alias -x profile='. ~/.profile'
alias -x reset='. ~/.aliases'
alias -x smail='/usr/mail/PCS/bin/smail +edit'
alias -x ti='/usr/bin/lp -dti'
alias -x ul='print -n "User load:" ; who | wc -l'
alias -x wg='who | grep'
alias -x which='print "You are on cbscc"'
alias -x xpr='/usr/lbin/xpr -!Ehjw120'

#	look for a string in the password file (this will need to be
#	modified for use on non-SCCS password files)

function whois
{
    for i in ${*}
	do
	    grep ${i} /etc/passwd | \
		sed -e s/.*:unix-// -e s/:$// -e s/5947[0-9].*://p
	done
}

#	make a directory && change to it && pwd

function mc
{
	case ${#} in
	    1 ) mkdir ${1} && cd ${1} && pwd
		;;
	    * ) print - "usage: mc directory"
		;;
	esac
}
