If I press button "up" I can see all comand which I write before.
How can I clear this command history under suse linux 8.0?

Do you want to clear it permanently, or only one instance of the
shell?

To clear it in the current shell, use "history -c".

To remove it permenently, delete $HOME/.bash_history.

If you don't want a history at all:
ln -sf /dev/null ~/.bash_history

To reenable the history:
rm ~/.bash_history

Instead you should set ths HISTFILE variable to /dev/null. Or set
HISTSIZE to 1.
