Hello community,
I want to create a shortcut or alias for a command. Specifically, I want the command "telnet localhost 2500" to execute when I type "t".

Thank you in advance for your responses.

    Hello,

    Just type in a terminal: 
    alias t='telnet localhost 2500'
    and to make it permanent, add this line to your ".bashrc".

    In your "/home/toi".
    Type:
    ls -a ~
    and you should see it.
    You can also use "locate .bashrc" to locate it...

    Thank you for worrying about me, I'm actually on FC5.
    There must have been an issue on my end because everything is working perfectly now.

    Thanks again to everyone and long live CCM.

    Apparently, I jumped the gun a bit :(
    I typed the alias in the command line and it’s okay.
    I then added it to the .bashrc file
    but when I restart the machine and type t, I get this message:

    ~]# t
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

    I don’t understand.

    Le fichier .bashrc se trouve généralement dans le répertoire personnel de l'utilisateur. Pour le trouver, vous pouvez ouvrir un terminal et utiliser la commande suivante :

    ```
    nano ~/.bashrc
    ```

    ou

    ```
    vi ~/.bashrc
    ```

    Cela ouvrira le fichier .bashrc si celui-ci existe.

    Heu... which distribution are you on?
    During the first attempts in the command line, were you also logged in as "root"?

    Because depending on the daemon that handles "telnet" (inet.d or xinet.d) and their respective configuration files, it might be that telnet on localhost is forbidden... ;-\

    So check that...

    I think the problem is more on my side because I can no longer execute the command directly.
    I'm trying to see and then I'll come back :(
