There are lots of good books on every day usage of Unix and it's
environment.  I started with "The Unix Programming Environment" of
Brian Kernighan & Rob Pike, but this is an old book now, and I'm not
sure if it's still available.

You can get away for this simple task with what Unix shells call
'aliases'.  For instance if you're using tcsh, you can write at your
prompt:

    % alias nini 'ssh -l username nini.somethere.net'

and then use the alias for running the entire quoted command:

    % nini

For more details, you can always consult the manual page of your
favorite shell; sh(1), bash(1), csh(1) or tcsh(1).
