It is important to know what shell you are using... as the behaviour is different between shells.
For bash shell.....you can use the arrow keys for last command.
For Ksh you just press escape followed by k - to fetch the last command. Press k again for the one before that...etc......
Another useful command with ksh is escape followed by backslash...this will complete the path for you if there is one option only that it could be.....ie.
If you have 3 files in a directory (called a123 b123 and c123) and you type 'cat a' then press escap and backslash it will complete the a123 as it is the only possible option. this also works with directory names and down several layers...
The equivalent in bash for this is tab to complete the name.

trace-cmd-stop
TRACE-CMD-STOP(1) TRACE-CMD-STOP(1)
NAME
trace-cmd-stop - stop the Ftrace Linux kernel tracer from writing to the ring buffer.
SYNOPSIS
trace-cmd stop
DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) stop is a complement to trace-cmd-start(1). This will disable Ftrace from writing to the ring buffer. This does not stop
the overhead that the tracing may incur. Only the updating of the ring buffer is disabled, the Ftrace tracing may still be inducing
overhead.
After stopping the trace, the trace-cmd-extract(1) may strip out the data from the ring buffer and create a trace.dat file. The Ftrace
pseudo file system may also be examined.
To disable the tracing completely to remove the overhead it causes, use trace-cmd-reset(1). But after a reset is performed, the data that
has been recorded is lost.
