Unix Command to show the hostory of commands you typed in ? - GoFuckYourself.com

rml1608 · 09-26-2005, 11:19 PM

I tried 'history' which is what I thought it was but I got "history : not found" I typed in set history=20, then typed in ls, then typed in history and that didn't work ...

I am using scp -r and have a folder that is still going 20 minutes later, nothing I am copying should be this large so I want to make sure I didn't make a typo..

Any ideas here?

Try connecting through putty I have here for download:

winscp is limited on commands.

depends what shell you are on "history" is used on tcsh csh zsh sh

if you are using bash shell its all stored in .bash_history

you can just cat .bash_history | more

You can always hit the left arrow key while in SSH. And keep hitting it to keep going further back.
