Repeat previous unix command

Thanks for your reply. I am using ksh.

In linux, if my last command is for example "ls -ltr |tail", I just hit the "arrow up " key to bring it (ls -ltr |tail) back on the command line and then verify it. This gives me the opportunity to display the command before executing it.

The command 'r' that vbe suggests is good, but it is executed before I even have the opportunity to dsplay it.

I need a command (or key stroke) in order to display and then repeat the execution without retyping the command. Any idea?

Thanks!

Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap(3)

NAME
Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap HIERARCHY
Glib::Object +----Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap METHODS
keymap = Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap->get_default direction = $keymap->get_direction ({ key1, keyval1 }, { ... }) = $keymap->get_entries_for_keycode (hardware_keycode) o $hardware_keycode (integer) Returns a list of hash references, each with two keys: "key" pointing to a GdkKeymapKey and "keyval" pointing to the corresponding key value. keys = $keymap->get_entries_for_keyval (keyval) o $keyval (integer) Returns a list of GdkKeymapKeys. Obtains a list of keycode/group/level combinations that will generate $keyval. Groups and levels are two kinds of keyboard mode; in general, the level determines whether the top or bottom symbol on a key is used, and the group determines whether the left or right symbol is used. On US keyboards, the shift key changes the keyboard level, and there are no groups. A group switch key might convert a keyboard between Hebrew to English modes, for example. Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Key contains a group field that indicates the active keyboard group. The level is computed from the modifier mask. keymap = Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap->get_for_display ($display) o $display (Gtk2::Gdk::Display) Since: gtk+ 2.2 boolean = $keymap->have_bidi_layouts Since: gtk+ 2.12 integer = $keymap->lookup_key ($key) o $key (scalar) (keyval, effective_group, level, consumed_modifiers) = $keymap->translate_keyboard_state (hardware_keycode, state, group) o $hardware_keycode (integer) o $state (Gtk2::Gdk::ModifierType) o $group (integer) SIGNALS
