$ echo "This is fun!"
-bash: !": event not found
Bash uses ! as a shell short-cut character. For example:
!! Execute previous command
!n Execute nth previous command
!string Execute previous command starting with string
!?string? Execute previous command containing string
I've always wondered how you get a list of .bash-history so that you
know the value of n.
