SJ> I have IGNOREEOF=2 in /root/.bashrc. It turns out with greater IGNOREEOF's, and more "fg"'s, the sucker heads straight for the HISTFILE where it proceeds to execute all the commands there faster than you can kill(1) them. "A monster has taken over my '*shell*' buffer and is sending root ^P^O&'s or whatever it takes to replay my HISTORY file faster than I can swat all it is spawning!" Here I fool it with HISTFILE=/dev/null:
