How to list commands history with busybox?

Question

I use busybox with buildroot on apf51 board. In the console, I can recall a previously typed command with the "up arrow" or search in the command list with Ctrl+g.

But the command history doesn't exist:

# history
-sh: history: not found

Is there a way to list previously typed commands with busybox ?

Answer 1

Since BusyBox is using ash, you should be able to read the history from the ~/.ash_history file like:

$ tail ~/.ash_history
