HP-UX

Hello All,

I Am A New Member To This Group.

Could you show me how to view all command was typed the same Redhat. Every I type arrow up and down to show the command was type but nothing to see. I must type it again. it is very slow.

Thanks

You should never trust arrows on true unix systems (vi heritage...)
And so like navigating in vi, to go up/down, j/k
for that (like in...) press Esc first...

You posted in the HP-UX forum, but mention Red Hat in your posting. Are you using Linux or HP-UX? On Linux in the Bash shell arrow keys usually work just fine, unless your admin made local changes to switch the shell's keybindings to vi mode or something. Possibly if you get garbage when you press the arrow keys, the shell thinks you are on a different terminal type than what you really are; they send different arrow key codes. What does echo $TERM display for you?

I'm using HP UX, could you show more detail to help?

Hoavn,

#1, use escape with "k" option to recollect the previous command typed in. Then you can use "n" and "j" to move up and down.

#2, to view the commands typed (As in your question), you can use history <number of commands you need from past>, then proceed copying and pasting it on your console.
