How does this work, very confusing to me.... It's volatile, and generally written on logout: test@qemu:~$ cat .bash_history test@qemu:~$ bash test@qemu:~$ ls stuff other_stuff test@qemu:~$ echo yes yes test@qemu:~$ exit test@qemu:~$ cat .bash_history ls echo yes test@qemu:~$ on logout from the topmost shell, .bash_history will contain ls echo yes cat .bash_history bash cat .bash_history Hope that helps, -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | BOFH excuse #46: waste water tank | | steve@lobefin.net | overflowed onto computer | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
