When I try to run history in dash, I get an error message. This is expected as far as I can tell.



When I run fc I too get an error message like "dash fc: not found".



So how do I access the command history in dash? If it matters, I'm accessing dash through bash.



$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
534 pts/2 00:00:00 bash
16129 pts/2 00:00:00 sh
16260 pts/2 00:00:00 ps


This seems to explain the problem, but not how to solve it.

  • "how to solve it" would be to obtain a version of dash for your distribution that is compiled with history support I think - or build one yourself from the source (e.g. using ./configure --with-libedit)
