Question How to find back "history" database after "history -c" ?

I've accidentally type: "history -c" !!!
and deleted all my "history".
Is there any way I can get my "history" back?

Thank you.

Depending on whether you refer to the
bash built-in or the GNU tool, the file
used to store the history is either
~/.bash_history
or
~/.history

In both cases history -c deletes the
contents of the respective file, no going
back.


Cheers,
Tink
