[Solved] history command
hi,
i had to submit a project into a directory. i copied it from my location to the specified folder, no problemo.
just one thing though.
after i copied and searched for the time i copied using the history command, the system would not show. even using the up arrow key would not display my previously entered commmand.

cp fileA /destinationfolder/fileA

to see it was none of my mistake, i did this twice. however, the same thing happened again.
so is my file copied into the destination folder? i would think so since i didn't get an error message after executing the cp command.
this is a school related question but i am not being graded on this particular dilemma. i am not breaking forum rules.

thanks.

sorry.
problem solved. i scrolled up and did backspace on the command that's why.
so now when i execute the history command, the command on which i scrolled up and did backspace on, shows up as an asterisk.
*for future reference.

ae-sccs-put

ae-sccs-put(1)															    ae-sccs-put(1)

NAME

	ae-sccs-put - put sccs version

SYNOPSIS

	ae-sccs-put -ycomment -Ginput-file history-file

DESCRIPTION

	The ae-sccs-put command is used to commit changes to an SCCS file.  It insulates against a number of SCCS's quirks, and maps to Aegis'
	expectations better than using the SCCS commands directory in the history commands in the project aegis.conf configuration file.

	The file comments must be specified on the command line.

	The source file must be specified on the command line.

	It is expected that there is not lock current in the history file.  This is consistent with Aegis' use of its history tool.

	The history file need to exist yet.  It will be created (with the sccs admin command) if it does not.

OPTIONS

	The following options are understood:

	-Gsource-file
		This option must be used to specify the source file to be checked into the history.

	-ycomment
		This option must be used to specify the comment to be attached to the file history.  You probably need to use quotes to insulate
		the white space in the comment.

EXIT STATUS

	The ae-sccs-put command will exit with a status of 1 on any error.  The ae-sccs-put command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are
	no errors.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

	See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command.  See aepconf(5) for the project configuration file's
	project_specific field for how to set environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.
