hi folks:
I think this might not be linux specific, but a general unix stuff.. but
not so sure...
so I sometime fine tuned a long command line and felt good.
but later I need to re-pop it up back from my another new terminal.
but somehow, mysteriously, I couldn't find it out , I normally get back
my old command in one of two ways:
1) ctrl-R and type the keyword
2) history | grep KEYWORD
but sometime neither works. AND...
if I luckily still keep my original terminal open, then I can just go to
that original terminal where I typed those commands and get my command
back with one of the 2 methods...
what happens? each terminal maintains a seperate instance of command
line history? is there a method that I can always rely on to find out my
old command?
