Saving windows command prompt history to a file

  • 772

Is it possible to save DOS command prompt history to a file?

I'm going to work in sqlplus and would like to save all commands that were used and executed in a log file.

Example, I would like to save all DOS commads executed in a DOS session:

C:\> sqlplus /nolog
sql> connect / as sysdba
sql> select * from v$version;
etc, etc

I tried to do before: doskey /history >> C:\commands.log

But it does not record anything. I'm in a Windows Server 2008 64 bits.

  1. Start Powershell, use the transcript functionality.

    Start-transcript Initializes a transcript fi le and then creates a record of all subsequent actions in the PowerShell session. Use the following syntax:
    Start-Transcript [[-path] FilePath] [-force] [-noClobber] [-append]

    Stop-transcript Stops recording actions in the session and finalizes the transcript. Use the following syntax: Stop-Transcript
