Dear All,
Can any one pls let me the command for how to goback to previous visited directory from the current working directory in SunOS ?
In case of HP-UX; the same can be resolved through "cd -" command.
Thanks in advance!

the command is shell and not os dependent!
use: "echo $SHELL" inside the both os. the default shell in solaris is "sh". you can change the shell by typing "ksh" and then the "cd -" command should work again...
Ok.
Thanks on this ...
am sure u can do the same using "bash" too
You can use pushd and popd.
ie:
pwd = /var/adm
if you type pushd /usr/local you will be in /usr/local
then if you type popd you will go back to /var/adm

The question has already been answered in this thread so I assume it wasn't clear enough.
For this feature to work, you need to use a shell that support it. The default shell Solaris use (/bin/sh) doesn't so you need to switch to another one.
Ask your administrator to switch your shell to /bin/ksh (or better /bin/ksh93 if available). If you are that person , simply run "usermod -s /bin/ksh surbhi" assuming surbhi is your loginname. If you are only login in as root, create a user account first and use it instead of root.
