You can create an alias that logs you onto a system.
For instance, I use the machine name as the name of my script, i.e.
MyServer contains
---cut here---
#!/bin/sh
ssh -l gh93ldsk myserver.com
---cut here---
so I just type in "MyServer" and then I log in.
But that's on the CLIENT.
There are ways to automate the login - depending on the login process (ssh, telnet, rlogin, etc.)
Once you have logged in, you can create many many aliases and scripts
to make your life easier on the SERVER. Note that we are talking
about aliases and scripts on two different systems.
You said
cd /home/
I don't know what exactly you are doing. I also don't know what shell you are using.
By convention, the command
cd
with no arguments places you in your $HOME directory.
Is $HOME the same as /home/?
