UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Thanks alot drl,
seems it worked, what do you think was wrong, here is the output,

Code:

cl1# ps | grep $$
  7504 pts/1       0:00 csh
cl1# set history=5
cl1# echo one
one
cl1# history
     2  set history=5
     3  echo one
     4  history
cl1#

I will add set history to my .cshrc file.

Many thanks again

Hi, Aladdin.

Glad to hear that it seems to be working.

As to what was wrong -- I don't know. Perhaps the correct commands were not present at the right time and place.

The important thing is that you see that there is cause and effect for the appropriate commands to set up the history mechanism for the login name (account, user, etc.) that you are currently using.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
