Most distributions do this. It really helps when you run multiple shells at a time, because otherwise your history gets overwritten by the last shell running. If you have "histappend" enabled, all of the new history gets appended to the bash history file. enable by running... # shopt -s histappend Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login with shell 1 2. login with shell 2 3. type a command in shell 1 4. log out of shell 1 5. type a different command in shell 2 6. log out of shell 2 Actual Results: only the history of shell 2 gets saved to ".bash_history", and you lose the commands you ran in shell 1. Expected Results: The history of shell 1 AND shell 2 should have been saved to the ".bash_history" file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
