Hi

In Unix, to get the previous command, I simply use the back arrow key on the keyboard to sroll back the history commands.

But Solaris does not have this action. Each time I execute a command, I have to re-type it. Do you know how to set up Solaris behave as Unix?

Thanks,

In Unix type "history".
to repeat the last command at the prompt type "!!"

If you want trun the latest command starting with a l (like ls -al) type "!l"

If you want to execute a command specific of the history not the number and type !<number>

In my cshrc I have
alias h 'history \!* | head -39 | more'

so that I can type only "h" at the prompt and it will list only the last 40 commands.

Hope this helps

Hit the Escape key, then lowercase k.

If you use tcsh shell then you just have to hit the up arrow key to repeat last command.

Hi,
When u enter into terminal of Solaris u get
# prompt. Now type the shell u want to use
like if u want to use bash shell type bash.
u will get "bash-3.00#" prompt. Now this will work like unix simply press up arrow key to repeat previous commands.
I think u got your answer
