Hi,

did you mean batch or patch installation?

batch - schedules a job for execution immediately

at - schedules a job for execution at a specified time.

cron - executes commands at specified dates and times.

sorry, it's 'bash'which permit me to re-call a command i type on my keybord

Hi,

You need to download it here and install it.

Hi,

One advice! Do not setup the root account with bash, otherwise you system will not boot to multi-user.

Kind regards,
Robert-Jan

Actually, don't bother with bash - be a real SysAdmin and use the Posix shell and learn the vi editor so the commands to recall your keyboard entries are second nature and you will be used to using the most portable editor there is.

You'll need to set up a couple environment variables. Set HISTFILE (HISTFILE=/tmp/.sh_history.$whoami) and then set the editor (set -o vi) in your .profile. You can then recall your previous commands with and edit them, search through them, etc., etc. And you'll also be taking a large step towards being a real SysAdmin.

this method doesn't work in the version 11iv3, but it works in the 11iv2

How can i implemente it on 11iv3 server?

[Pete Randall]

It should work on 11.31 - try entering "set -o vi" and then try it.

exec ksh -o vi (which takes you out of bash unfortunately)
