Your email said using /bin/sh. It indicated history was really using fc. I guess your history command is an alias to "fc -l". What /bin/sh is this? I have never heard of a real /bin/sh that supports history that is saved in a file. In other words, the history is only in memory for that process. If you customer used bash instead (or another shell that saved history to a file), then you could just use that history (like .bash_history) file instead. (But that may or may not be accurate or up-to-date.) Jeremy C.
