Share your alias and command shortcuts for DirectAdmin

[eva2000]

To save time typing I usually setup my own alias command shortcuts in /root/.bashrc to allow me to navigate a system more quickly. I am sure seasoned DirectAdmin pros do the same Update: created a Github repo so you can contribute via pull requests if you want https://github.com/centminmod/directadmin-aliases

So thought I'd start a thread sharing my DirectAdmin shortcuts I just setup below. I am new to DirectAdmin used it for less than 24hrs all up so thought this thread would also serve to correct any potential issues I may face in choice of alias names and whether they would conflict with any existing DirectAdmin commands setup/configured

So far I've come up with the following

daconf='/usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf'
cbconf='/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf'
alias directadmin='/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin'
alias dadir='pushd /usr/local/directadmin/'
alias dashdir='pushd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts'
alias cbdir='pushd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild'
alias cb='/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build'
alias cbconfig='/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build used_configs'
alias cbopts='/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build options'
alias cbhelp='/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build opt_help full'
alias cbvers='/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build versions'
alias mysqladmin='mysqladmin --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/my.cnf'
alias mysqldump='mysqldump --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/my.cnf'
alias mysql='mysql --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/my.cnf'

Great idea! All these paths were a pain in the ... to me too.
I used a different approach with Midnight Commander (mc), in which I created a path list. See attached image.
