Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide


Remembering Previous Commands

If you set the editor option to yes in your client options file dsm.opt, Tivoli Storage Manager permits you to recall and edit as many as 20 previously entered commands by using the Up arrow and Down arrow keys. If you set the editor option to no, the feature to recall previous commands is not active. If the editor and command retrieve functions are not working on a specific workstation setting, you should turn off the editor option. For more information regarding the editor option, see Editor.

Pressing the Up arrow key displays the previous command in memory. Pressing the Down arrow key displays the next command in memory. Table 35 lists other functions you can perform when you recall commands.
