alias update='sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade -y;cd /home/sahana/Desktop/web2py && bzr up;cd /home/sahana/Desktop/web2py/applications/eden && bzr pull'
alias clean="rm ~/.bash_history;cd ~/Desktop/web2py/applications/eden && rm -f databases/* && rm -rf cache/* && rm -f sessions/*;sudo rm -f /var/log/*;sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*;COLUMNS=200 sudo dpkg -l | grep ^rc | awk '{print $2} ' | xargs sudo dpkg -P"
}}}
