Previous command

Hi
In Unix, to get the previous command, I simply use the back arrow key on the keyboard to sroll back the history commands.
But Solaris does not have this action. Each time I execute a command, I have to re-type it. Do you know how to set up Solaris behave as Unix?

In Unix type "history". to repeat the last command at the prompt type "!!"
If you want trun the latest command starting with a l (like ls -al) type "!l"
If you want to execute a command specific of the history not the number and type !<number>
In my cshrc I have alias h 'history \!* | head -39 | more'
so that I can type only "h" at the prompt and it will list only the last 40 commands.
Hope this helps

If you use tcsh shell then you just have to hit the up arrow key to repeat last command.

Hi, When u enter into terminal of Solaris u get # prompt. Now type the shell u want to use like if u want to use bash shell type bash. u will get "bash-3.00#" prompt. Now this will work like unix simply press up arrow key to repeat previous commands. I think u got your answer
Summary: I am able to see all the previous commands run when i issue history command, but what if i want to get one of them run. And i get # prompt on my console, what is the shell type on my system and how ...
