Scrolling in Linux and saving stdout
 

Dear all,
sometimes I need to backtrack the previous stdout of some program. Unfortunately my Linux command line doesn't have a scroll button, therefore I cannot look back.

Does Linux keep past stdouts? If yes, how can I access those? Is there any easier way to look back the previous stdout?

Try <shift>-<PgUp>
You can also redirect the stdout to a file, and/or use tee - see "man tee".

"shift page up" is very cool. Is there anyway to configure its buffer size? thanks

Use either tee or more/less.

ok, thanks :)
