Unix shells keep a log of your previously run commands (that’s how the up arrow
function works).
To print your history, use history number
, where the number specifies how
many lines to print (the default is to print your entire log, since the last
system restart).
[euid123@t3-login1 ~]$ history 10
896 exit
897 history 10
898 exit
899 ls
900 pwd
901 top
902 cd testingR/
903 ls
904 cd ..
905 history 10
