Is threre any Shell variable that keep the last executed command

I want to do something like make an alias that will send me a mail
about the last command executed.

Like
alias tom 'set gh `!-1:p`;touch a; mail -s "done with $gh" paragp
Where gh should have the last command executed.
So that I get that message on my mobile device that the command that I
had typed is done

You seem to use csh where I cannot help you much, but inspect the csh
builtin 'history' command to get the required information. If you are
interested in say a ksh solution play around with the 'fc' command and
options -lnN (see man page for details).

Try this:

alias tom 'mail -s "Done with \!-1" paragp
