Hi all,

I don't want to keep some things having done in history. How can I do this?

I what history? Netscape? Konqueror? OpenOffice recent file menu? Shell? I presume you mean bash. You could manually edit .bash_history. Best done with a second shell after you're closed the first shell. You could use a shell that doesn't keep history permanently like tcsh. You could also set your the variable $HISTFILESIZE to something small in your ~/.bashrc: HISTFILESIZE='1' That will cause bash to only keep 1 command in history. Then you can always do one extra command like ls to clear it all out. Possibly you can do HISTFILESIZE='0' Is there a variable for the histfile its self? I wonder if you could set it to /dev/null somehow.

Anyone has any idea?

Thanks

I suppose you could write a script that ran as a background process that kept checking the bash history file and automatically stripped out the bits you don't want to keep using sed or similar.
