Works the same in Solaris, assuming you have the proper shell setup. Make sure that you're setup to use "bash" and not some other shell.

It isn't a function of the terminal, it is a function of the shell. The shell you are using in Solaris can be the same as the one you are using in any other unixlike operating system. To figure out what shell you are using in linux (if you don't already know) you can run the command, "echo $SHELL". Then on solaris run "whereis [fillinshellhere]" replacing [fillinshellhere] with the shell from above without the path (example: if $SHELL == "/bin/bash" only use "bash"). You can then change the shell in /etc/passwd to the output of the whereis command. If you don't have the shell installed, you will need to install it.

The default shell in Solaris is /bin/sh

You can change this by typing "bash" in the terminal. Also if you want your default shell to be bash edit the /etc/passwd file and change the /bin/sh to /bin/bash (or any other shell you like)

-C

Instead of bash, you can also use the latest ksh93 on Solaris Express which finally allows these frequently asked features.

If Solaris is keeping with tradition, your default shell is csh. You can change this by editing "/etc/passwd". Change the part that says "/bin/csh" to "/bin/bash". This assumes you have bash installed.

I don't know why this incorrect information is so widespread. Solaris default shell has always been the old Bourne shell /bin/sh.
Alternatively, root can use this command to change username's shell:
"passwd -e username"

Yay I was right for once

I used to use a Solaris machine where csh was my shell. Maybe the administrator changed it when he created the account.

Indeed, administrators are free to change their machines new users default shell.

hey
thnx it work will now
