Aliases

Aliases are short, user-defined commands that serve as replacements for longer or more complex commands. They are created to make frequently used commands more convenient to execute. When an alias is invoked, it gets replaced by the full command it represents before it is executed.

vim /root/.bashrc

Then, add the following aliases:

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'
