Hi,
If you only want to see what commands you have used in the past, the command history will do it.
I don't know where they are stored though.

[nmset]

~/.bash_history

[alejandroye]

Can I delete that history or edit it, what is the limite of that history

thanks a lot

[nmset]

You may delete or edit that file as any other regular file. For konsole application, the default is to store 1000 commands, which you can modify. I don't know if that limit is set by konsole or bash itself.

The history size is set by the shell. For Bash, it's set by the HISTSIZE variable in either .bash_profile or .bashrc.

[alejandroye]

thank you, but how it is the units, I mean, by lines? (1000 lines) or by file zie(250000b) HITSIZE=?

[reed9]

Number of lines.
