Let's develop the use of these one-liners a bit further, shall we?

Anything required to use regularly, might be setup as alias added to your
own personal .bashrc file:
alias textphp="/bin/ls *.php | while read i ; do echo "text" >> $i ; done"
When one has to use repeated commands like anything for which one might
repeatedly need to use while loops, a .bashrc assists to provide a means of
ownership of complex technology.
In some shops it's even allowed to maintain a NFS, CIFS shared /bin with
scripts and tools submitted and available for use by all engineers,
administrators?
