Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to create .sh_history file Post 5719 by b5fnpct on Tuesday 21st of August 2001 09:11:37 AM

Yes, I know it has different name comes with different shell. My question is how this file was created? I have to manually create it or it was created when I create the user's account? Because in one machine I saw this file under my directory in another machine it doesn't exist. It should have some place to make this happen(define in a system file?)

My another question is: Is it possible to check the user's history if the user doesn't have a history file? where can I go to check?

Thanks!
