Viewing the commands executed

Hi,

I have executed a set of commands on the linux server and later rebooted the server. Is it possible to get the details of the commands I executed prior to the reboot? If yes please let me know how?

Thanks.

If you are lucky, they might still be in /root/.bash_history or a similar file.
