solaris 9 default shell
Hi All,

If I login to Solaris 9 by default. I can't find my history. If I run the bash shell by /etc/bash/bash then my history will go to my ~/.bash_history.

If I don't use bash where's my history of command go.

Thanks in advance. Smilie

The default shell has no history and lacks plenty of other useful features. Switch to a POSIX compliant one like ksh or bash, eg.:
Code:
# passwd -e guest
Old shell: /bin/sh
New shell: /bin/ksh
passwd: password information changed for guest

Which Shell you are using....???? You can get this by seeing the o/p of
# echo $SHELL

If you are using Bourne or any other shell except ksh or bash, as told by
jlliagre, then you can't use the facility of history.
