dear expert, 

 In the shell env, the variables HISTFILE=//.sh_history
SHELL=/sbin/sh
HISTSIZE=5000  were there.   However i found the  history command use alias 'fc -l'.  So when i could not executed  ' history -c'. The error was sh: fc: A specified flag is not valid for this command.

when i unalias the history,  i found the : sh: history: not found.
