Wrong question. Red Hat Linux 8 does not store a command history.

Most (perhaps all) the shells do. You might read the documentation
for the shell you are using.

Well, yes. Pandi? If you have a normal account in RedHat 8, your shell is
/bin/bash. You cah check it by typing "getid myusername", or lots of other
commands.

If you examine the documentation for bash, you'll see that it is
"history -c".
