Hi All, To help you search your bash_history. Increase your bash_history save size by adding the following to your .bashrc
$ gedit .bashrc export HISTSIZE=1000000 HISTFILESIZE=1000000 At the bottom of the file in the alias section add: alias h="history|grep " now run: ". .bashrc" without the quotes (to save you having to log out & back in to your desktop) Then you can search your bash_history with: $ h sudo $ h install $ h remove $ h gedit etc., Ref .bashrc http://paste.ubuntu.com/137987/ $ cp .bash_history bh090326.txt $ grep sudo bh090326.txt $ grep cp bh090326.txt $ grep install bh090326.txt $ grep remove bh090326.txt $ h grep $ cp bh090321.txt /media/data/backups/ grep & find inside many files in a directory. If you have a directory with many files inside and you want to search for a string in all the files inside. e.g. I keep a directory with all my .bash_history backups then: cd /media/data/backups/ $ grep install * $ grep remove * $ grep sudo etc., When testing these tools can save a great deal of time. The new install can be quickly configured to your preferences, and build-software\favourite software reinstalled without fuss. Today's .bash_history is tomorrows install routine. Cheers!
