Very useful indeed, use history command along with grep command in UNIX to find any relevant command you have already executed.

Example

$ history

Output
911  man  7 signal
912  man ps
913  man  7 signal
914  man killall
915  killall -l
916  man killall
917  su -

$ history | grep killall

Output
914  man killall
915  killall -l
916  man killall
