-==command buffer==-

[Norberto]

When I type some root command's all this command's are in buffer, with shortcut ' ESC+K ' I have access for all command's were typed. But I don't know if this command's are writing in one file, it is??? Witch file???
It's possible I know what time was typed the lastest command's???
Is possible clean all buffer command's???
This works like DOSKEY in DOS.

Sorry about my English :-(

Norberto, don't worry about your English - it's just fine. If you're using ksh, the command history is in a file called .sh_history in your home directory - do an ls -la to see it listed. You can delete this file with the usual rm command, and list it's contents to another file with cat .sh_history > histlist or similar. As far as I know there is no timestamp included in this file. HTH.

I read about it, but when I open the file with scoedit there are notthink inside, I only see all commands with cat .sh_history. So, when I do cat .sh_history > historico there are nothink inside to. The owner is root,sys & --wr------, could be the permissions of the file, no???
-----------------------------------------------------------
When I remove the file --> rm .sh_history the commnads aren't cleanned, all commands are display with shortcut ' ESC+K 'again , that means exist any other file contains all commnads like .sh_history, write??

Norberto, .sh_history is a strange one. As I mentioned above, it's possible to cat it to a file, then vi that file and remove the control chars within it. This should enable you to see your command history. HTH.

strings ~/.sh_history > histfile would save you a lot of editing time!
