How can I output all previous Unix commands in Solaris to a file??
Hello friends:

I login to solaris with a username/Password and I can see quite a lot of previous I use dbefore, it accumulates a lot, I hope to output them into a Command.txt file as reference, not copy/paste 1 by 1, is there any way I can collect all commands in batch then put into a file,

Please advise


Thanks in advance

If you're using BASH:
Code:
history > commandhistory.txt

If you're using standard shell:
Code:
cat ~/.sh_history* > commandhistory.txt

I think that should do it

If you are using BASH, then another great tip to know is to use Ctrl-R, start typing and it will try and find a match in your history. Cycle through multiple 'finds' by using Ctrl-R again.
