I have found a few users suggesting that echo "list clients" | bconsole is an
ideal way to pass a command into bconsole and get the results to shell. I found
this very useful at times, particularly when issuing the messages command as
they scroll much slower in bconsole than in shell.
issuing the command with the | in it is not convenient or fast when typing, so
I wanted to create an alias to handle this. The problem was that the pipe '|'
would break the alias command as normally written.
Placing the following text into your .bashrc file will create the function
BconCommand and alias it to bcon, which will allow you to pass in quote
encapsulated commands to bconsole and get the results back to your ssh terminal
a little faster and easier.
alias bcon=BconCommand
function BconCommand()
{
echo $1 | bconsole
}
usage:
bcon 'list clients'
bcon 'list jobs'
bcon 'list jobid=2551'
