使用配置文件的bash命令的别名

Question

I need to set up an alias in my profile to chain some console commands together, I usually do

su root <return> 
<password>
rnd(one more alias just for cd into a particular directory)

I want to set up an alias to do all these together, I am new to unix. Is there anyway to simulate a 'return' in shellscripts?

Thanks

Answer 1

This is typically accomplished by

alias vault='cd /dragonvault && sudo -u smaug /bin/tcsh'

or

alias vault='cd /dragonvault && sudo login -l -f smaug'

If smaug is some administrative account configured with the shell nologin , only the first form will work. For any of these aliases to work, you need to install and configure sudo adequately.
