Shell Function Setup

To enable the dir command for changing directories using bookmarks, add the following shell function to your .profile, .bashrc, or .zshrc file, depending on your shell:

#!/bin/bash
dir() {
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then
    dirmarks list
    exit $?
fi
OPT=$1;
shift;
case $OPT in
        -l)
        dirmarks list
        ;;
        -h)
        dirmarks help
        ;;
        -d)
        dirmarks delete $1
        ;;
        -m)
        dirmarks add $1 $PWD
        ;;
        -u)
        dirmarks update $1 $2
        ;;
        -a)
        dirmarks add $1 $2
        ;;
        -p)
        GO=`dirmarks get $1`;
        if [ "X$GO" != "X" ]; then
                echo $GO;
        fi
        ;;
        *)
        GO=`dirmarks get $OPT`;
        if [ "X$GO" != "X" ]; then
                cd $GO;
        fi
        ;;
esac
}

Or add a file .functions in your home directory and source it in .bashrc

echo "source ~/.functions" >> ~/.bashrc

Setup dirmarks for all users

mkdir -p /etc/bash.functions 
cp data/marks.function /etc/bsh.fucntions

Append the following line in /etc/bash.bashrc

if [ -d /etc/bash.functions ]; then
        for i in /etc/bash.functions/*;do 
                source $i
        done
fi
