Hi All,

I'm used to HP-UX and I normally used the ESC-K to retrieve the history command from the command prompt. Now my company plan to use IBM AIX and I'm wondering how do I do that in AIX ? I just want to retrieve the history command at the command prompt. Another thing is what is the equal command for top in AIX ?

Cheers.

seems like either had ksh or bash on HP-UX. Is that correct?
and you're using 'vi-type' editing mode of history.

make sure that your shell is either ksh or bash, and your mode is 'vi' - in shell do:
set -o vi

For me Esc-K is working for history commands. (I am on AIX 4.3).
In AIX, I would think topas is the equivalent command to top

Hope this interests you --
