I am taking an "Intro to UNIX" class at school.
The teacher has asked that we send him a copy of
our .history files to show what steps we used to
complete certain assignments. I was able to setup
the history in my .profile by reading ksh(1), but
after I rebooted and issued a few commands, I
looked at the .hist???? file I created, but it
doesn't look the way I expected.
It looks like this:
<<Iy [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@^Bls [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@^Cvi
.hist10512
This is all on one line.
I can decode it well enough. There is gibberish,
then a letter (A,B,C, etc), then the command I put
in.
Is there a way to configure ksh to make the
commands display one command per line, or will I
have to edit it manually.
I use bash on other machines, and .bash_history
has each command on one line. I realize ksh isn't
the same. Maybe I should build bash from ports...
Thanks for the help. I love OpenBSD...
