The user's command history is normally stored in a file named .bash_history, located in the user's home directory. Instead of using su username, you could have done a less ~username/.bash_history to view username's command history as root, for example. Or you could have used the commands locate or find to find the exact path of the file you were looking for, if you remembered even a part of its name. Or you could've checked the logs at /var/log/ and probably found a helpful error message. | |
