DESCRIPTION

The history module provides a subset of the history capabilities available in the unix C-shell. Issuing the comand "history" will print a numbered list of the most recent commands (up to 100). Several of the event designators from the C-shell are also available. These are references to command lines in the history list. Available designators are:

! Start a history substitution, except when followed by a space character, tab, newline, = or (.

!! Repeat the previous command. !n Repeat command line n. !-n Repeat current command line minus n. !str Repeat the most recent command starting with str

EXAMPLES

To print the history list:

SAC> history

To repeat command 1:

SAC> !1

To repeat the last command:

SAC> !!

To repeat the 2nd-to-last command:

SAC> !-2

To repeat the command starting with ps:

SAC> !ps
