Displaying the JUNOS CLI Command and Word History

The following sections show you how to view the JUNOS command line interface command and word history:

Displaying Command History

To display a list of recent commands that you issued, use the show cli history command:



user@host> show cli history 			

  03-03 01:00:50 -- show cli history
  03-03 01:01:12 -- show interfaces terse
  03-03 01:01:22 -- show interfaces lo0
  03-03 01:01:44 -- show bgp next-hop-database
  03-03 01:01:51 -- show cli history

By default, this command displays the last 100 commands issued in the CLI. If you specify a number with the command, it displays that number of recent commands. For example:



user@host> show cli history 3 			

  01:01:44 -- show bgp next-hop-database
  01:01:51 -- show cli history
  01:02:51 -- show cli history 3

Displaying Word History

You can type Esc+. (period) or Alt+. (period) to insert the last word of the previous command. Repeat Esc+. or Alt+. to scroll backwards through the list of recently entered words. For example:

user@host> show interfaces terse fe-0/0/0

Interface      Admin    Link    Proto     Local    Remote
fe-0/0/0       up       up  
fe-0/0/0.0     up       up      inet     192.168.220.1/30

user@host> <Esc>
user@host> fe-0/0/0

If you scroll completely to the beginning of the list, typing Esc+. or Alt+. again restarts scrolling from the last word entered.
