those history functions are entirely part of the shell; the modular design
of *NIX means that they are kernel-independant. If you can't repeat last
command with !! in your Solaris shell, then either you are running a shell
that does not support history or your HISTCHAR variable is set to something
other than ! . It should work fine under Linux, since the default shell
is bash. What does your Solaris account say to the command
$ echo $SHELL
I've just been reading the history section of "UNIX Power Tools", and there
is a lot of l33t stuff that can be done with history...
