How to shortcut?

When i am using commands on the command line, it is very difficult to type in all the commands again and again. There should be way to reuse the earlier used commands, by using up arrow, down arrow or tabsHow to enable it?I am using solaris version 5.10.

Hello.If you use the "bash" shell (comes either wish Solaris or with the Companion CD) you can use "arrow up".If you use the standard Solaris shell you have no such possibility.Martin

It is available (and in a far better form in my view) within the ksh. Just ensure that you have the -o vi option set (either set -o vi in the .profile) or use exec ksh -o vi from command line. You will then have access to the vi commands to recall and search command history (use Esc to enter/exit 'edit' mode).
