handy shell alias

pf is a wildcard running task search :
alias pf "ps -ef | grep \!* | egrep -v 'grep |bin/pf'"


rmane set prman env :
alias rmane 'setenv RMANTREE /opt/pixar/RenderManProServer-\!:1 ; setenv PRMANVER \!:1_64 ; setenv PRMAN_SHADER_PATH ${BUILDROOT}prman-${PRMANVER}/shaders ; setenv PRMAN_DSO_PATH ${BUILDROOT}prman-${PRMANVER} ; echo RMANTREE set to $RMANTREE ; echo PRMANVER set to $PRMANVER ; echo PRMAN_SHADER_PATH set to $PRMAN_SHADER_PATH ; echo PRMAN_DSO_PATH set to $PRMAN_DSO_PATH '


rmanv queries prman env :
alias rmanv 'env | grep RMAN'


ribgrep :
alias ribgrep '~/ribgrepext \!*'


where ribgrepext is a bash script like so:

ribgrepext :
#!/bin/bash

if [ ! $# == 2 ]; then
$RMANTREE/bin/catrib $1 | grep -o -e '[^\"]*\.exr\|[^\"]*\.dsh\|[^\"]*\.shd\|[^\"]*\.ptc\|[^\"]*\.optc\|[^\"]*\.bkm\|[^\"]*\.tex\|[^\"]*\.unk' | sort | uniq
else
$RMANTREE/bin/catrib $1 | grep -o -e [^\"]*\.${2} | sort | uniq
