MAC OS X 10.4 Darwin terminal

Hi! So the question is - if I have a task going on in this one terminal and it outputs several messages there. Let's say I close it accidentialy - is it possible to get that text back?

I'm not sure if it's possible, there are methods to get the last commands you entered.

This displays the last commands you entered:

$ history

This next one displays the history file in the terminal window.

$ cat ~/.bash_history

Not sure about getting the last output of the shell though...

What was it you were doing?

 

[edijs]

thanks, but it's displaying the commands that were given to the console, not the output.

 

[Matt555]

Yeah that's what I was saying, I'm not sure the last output can be obtained - may I ask what you were doing?

It's a script that's designed to send files to a server and the server proceses them (builds packages). The server then sends back messages as it goes indicating the status of each package.
