h
Display shell history.
Synopsis
h
Availability All users
Description Use this command to view the shell history. The shell history mechanism is
similar to the UNIX Korn shell history facility; it has a built-in line-editor
similar to UNIX vi that allows previously typed commands to be edited.
The command
h
displays the 20 most recent commands typed into the shell;
old commands fall off the top as new ones are entered.
To edit a command, press ESC to access edit mode, and then use vi
commands. The ESC key switches the shell to edit mode. The RETURN
key gives the line to the shell from either editing or input mode.
These are the basic vi commands:
k get the previous shell command
j get the next command
h move the cursor left
l move the cursor right
a append
iinsert
x delete
uundo
Operands
None.
Example To display previous shell commands:
switch:admin> h
1 version
2 switchShow
3 portDisable 2
4 portEnable 2
