vim /root/.bashrc

alias agentstart='/var/lib/griaule/gbs-smartsense-agent/scripts/start-smartsense.sh'
alias agentstop='/var/lib/griaule/gbs-smartsense-agent/scripts/stop-smartsense.sh'
alias agentstatus='/var/lib/griaule/gbs-smartsense-agent/scripts/smartsense-status.sh'
alias agenthome='cd /var/lib/griaule/gbs-smartsense-agent/'
alias agentlogt='/var/lib/griaule/gbs-smartsense-agent/scripts/tail-smartsense.sh'
