history<br />

<div>
what shell are you using? if sh or csh or tcsh then no way.<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
omarfarid, they will be using ksh, as .sh_history was mentioned.

<div>
I could see that, thanks.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to mention that it can not be done with those shells
</div>


<div>
Hi omarfarid,<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm using ksh.<br />
So, do you mean that there is another way if I am using ksh. Please advise. Thanks.
</div>


<div>
The history command works in<br />
<br />
ksh<br />
csh<br />
tcsh<br />
zsh<br />
bash<br />
<br />
The only shell that doesn't have history feature is bourne shell.

What Tintin mentioned about shells is correct. But, the history command in csh and tcsh will give you list of used commands for that login session only, while in ksh and bash it will give previously used commands in previous logins as well.<br />

Hi All,<br />
<br />
Under Solaris 8, besides checking the file .sh_history, is there another way to check the commands run in the past?<br />
<br />
Please advise. Thanks.

Check Commands Run in the past

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
