UP arrow button to recall previous commands in Putty

Hi,

I remember in my previous project, I used UP arrow button to recall previous unix commands (using putty on Sun OS), which I am not able to do in my new project... I do not know if this is some project specific settings or not...
when I press UP arrow button, all I get is ^[ . I have to press Esc + "/" + Enter and n to get all previous commands, which is cumbersome compared to using only UP arrow key !

Any idea how can I get rid of this issue. It should show me all my previous commands so that I can easily navigate through them.

I hope you understand what I am saying here...

Try:

exec bash

Wow.. it worked !!
thanks

Does this changes my shell to bash? Or something else?

Yes it replaces your current shell with bash. Probably your login shell is /bin/sh or /sbin/sh .
