It would be far more reasonable if &quot;nixar&quot; was a set of aliases or just a bunch of bash scripts ...<p>something like<p><pre><code>    alias count=&#x27;wc -l&#x27;
</code></pre>
or<p><pre><code>    echo &quot;#bin&#x2F;sh\nsed \&quot;1, \$1d\&quot;&quot; &gt; drop
    chmod +x .&#x2F;drop
    cat file | drop 5</code></pre>
