Solaris 9 - Command line history
How do I get the command line history to work in solaris 9?
I would like to use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the history the way that linux sets it up. Currently I just get something like ^[[A when I hit the up arrow. The root user defaults to ksh and a regular user defaults to sh. Thanks. |
hmm.
shells shouldn't be OS specific... But try bash $bash and then see whether history works then. Have you got a vanilla shell configuration (for ksh, sh)? |
If you are using ksh then set EDITOR=vi and you'll have vi cursor control to scroll back through your history and \ will give you directory completion (similar to tab in bash)
|
Key thing to watch for is shell you are using, at least up until Solaris 8 the shell defaults to Bourne, with no history capability. Switch your shell away from Bourne and follow suggestions made by the others here.
