I knew how to get your history file to remember all your previous commands, but saving and appending from all closing bash shells, I hadn't found yet. :)
I don't quite understand the default policy of history either. Sometimes, your commands are saved, but indeed when working with multiple shells, you tend to lose some sessions completely while keeping others. Btw, I have this one in my .bashrc as well: export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F (%H:%M) : " It gives your history entries a nice timestamp. T. PS. didn't know the nodups option either, but it rocks :-) -- ================================================================== Thomas Van Parys Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM thomas.vanparys@psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================
