You want the 'history -r' command, "explained" by `help history`. After you end the script, you're back in the bash instance you ran 'script' from. When you ended the script & therefore the bash being run in that script, that bash wrote its commands to ~/.bash_history; but the bash you're running, which is the one you ran script from, hasn't read that ~/.bash_history. Running 'history -r' will cause it to do so. BTW I've got some kind of email configuration problem that usually prevents me from posting to debian-user, even though I can usually email individual users. Gareth, if you get this, and it's the correct solution to your original problem, perhaps you could post it to the list; this email is CCd to debian-user, but I expect the CC to bounce.
