Creating a shortcut

Hi

This is probably gonna rank right up there with the dumbest questions around but I will ask it anyway

I have the files
/usr/share/tomcat/startup.sh
/usr/share/tomcate/shutdown.sh

Is there anyway to create a shortcut to these files that I can use inside the terminal? right now i have to type out the whole path, the best I could come up with was to set the environment variables
[root@oops ~]# $TOMCAT_START/startup.sh
[root@oops ~]# $TOMCAT_START/shutdown.sh


but would like something more along the lines of
[root@oops ~]# tomcat_start
[root@oops ~]# tomcat_stop


The tomcat package was manually installed so
service tomcat start
doesn't work

The OS is Fedora Core 4

Thanks for any docs or advice

You can use an alias, so you could put something like this in your ~/.bashrc file:

Dude you are a legend

Thanks
