Hello,
if any of you uses the excellent zshell, you might be interested in this small plugin for BaseX for the zsh: https://github.com/dirkk/zsh-basex.
Aliases might also be useful for every other shell user, because they basically shorten all basex commands (e.g. bx is defined as an alias for basex).
Cheers, Dirk
