Not normally. UNIX does keep a history file of your recent commands. The fc command for your system can recall commands recently issued. The file itself is indentifed in the environment variable HISTFILE

Code:
echo $HISTFILE
All of this is predicated on you using a modern, POSIX shell. If your shell is ancient, I cannnot tell you what to do. I'm guessing you are using bash, which is POSIX-compliant, since CentOS 5.1 is the current release.
