Hi,

From time to time I wonder how 'history' works, and what is the mechanism for the many bash sessions making it into '.bash_history'?

Today, I was reminded of my previous wondering as 'history' corrupted my session's display -- 'reset' resolved. I find the most useful history related command to be: [Ctrl]+r :: reverse incremental search I just now found HISTIGNORE. I am aware of bash-completion. It seems that one could do a lot more with this thinking. Any smart history search/modification tools out there? Cheers, Lloyd -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
