X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:50:08 -0000 the normal output of the history command resembles: 1 env 2 ssh system1.somedomain.com 3 scan cur etc. On occasion, I have seen a history output that shows the list of commands plus the time they were executed. I am not sure exactly how I got that output as I couldn't duplicate it on demand. Any ideas on what I did to get that alternative output? Thank you. Martin McCormick
