Hello:
 
Just started to use Linux exclusively, and I have a question pertaining Bash History. I know the history is logged in .bash_history or ($HISTFILE var). My question is, when I fork a new shell ie.
$ echo $$
2232
$ bash
$ echo $$
4434
 
Where is the history kept for bash.4434? and what happens to the history of bash.2232? How does this work, very confusing to me....
 
Thanks in advance..
