ESXi History Command

[joeflint]

All, for ESXi is there a history command and if so what is the syntax?

AFAIK, there is no history command in ESXi. Check out kb 2004810 for info on how to access the ESXi Shell log files.

Ok thanks for that, though when I opened the auth.log file there was a lof of info other than commands, hence not sure I understand this as being a replacement.

Thanks anyway

/var/log/shell.log contains all commands executed in ESXi Shell, not auth.log which contains information around authenication.
