Last commands executed. 1

[jrward]

How do I find a history of the last commands executed using SCO Unix Openserver 5.0.6?

I am logged in as root and the prompt is a "#" sign. I think I am in the Korn shell as vi is available to me.

ps -fp $$ will confirm the shell you are running. If the last column is -ksh it's Korn shell, if it's just -sh it's Bourne shell.

If it's the former, have a look in the /.sh_history file for recent commands.

Sorry, I just found the line "SHELL=/bin/sh" in the .profile so I am in the Bourne shell.

In that case the command history is not recorded anywhere unless, perhaps, system accounting was enabled, which is not common.
