__Setting up aliases and symbolic links for scripts:__
*Session aliases:*

- These aliases will delete after your session ends.
```

```
*Permanent aliases:*
- add aliases to your shell source file
In zsh:
- Set up symbolic links to the files in /usr/local/bin:
```
cd /usr/local/bin/
ln -s /absolute/path/to/msg.sh /absolute/path/to/msg.sh /absolute/path/to/serverlogin.sh
```
- Copy the aliases below:
```
alias msg=msg.sh
alias fmsg=fortune_msg.sh
alias login=serverlogin.sh
```
- Paste to your shell source file and save (:wq):
```
cd
vim .zshrc
```
- Reload the source file:
`source .zshrc`
