[kwlug-disc] command prompt history

[Raul Suarez]

For repetitive tasks nothing like a script.

Once you write your commands once, you can :
1. open ~\.bash_history and copy the commands to another file. 
2. substitute whatever needs to be a parameter
3. save the file
4. chmod +r myscript.sh
5. execute the script using the parameters
