RE: [gentoo-user] bash_history missing
So if you do ls -l .bash* in your home directory, what's the output? [EMAIL PROTECTED] blissfix $ ls -l .bash* -rw-r--r-- 1 blissfix users 0 Jul 6 14:59 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 blissfix users 232 Jul 2 21:12 .bash_profile -rw-r--r-- 1 blissfix users 812 Jul 2 21:12 .bashrc Note: this .bash_history was manually created w/ nano, whereas some hidden process created the one in root. And if I delete the home version another doesn't pop up on its own. BTW, the root version of .bash_history is chockful of retrospective goodness :). Also, each home console session preserves a record somewhere; the up arrow can access those. Even if I logout in and out they're still there. It's just when rebooting the unit they disappear. Where are they kept, I wonder. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Then set the same environment variables in your current shell and they should stick. Nope, .bash_history completely empty after a bunch of ls's. At least it didn't tell me to become root :o So if you do ls -l .bash* in your home directory, what's the output? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] bash_history missing
Try to adjust those variables: HISTFILE=/home/your_account/.bash_history HISTFILESIZE=500 HISTSIZE=500 HTH, noro Thanks noro. I had to run the above from root and sure enough, they were written into my home dir .bash_history, along with the exit command to get back to user-space. So I ran a series of ls's just to check but they don't appear. So what now? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Umm, not that I actually know anything about this, but I find it hard to imagine that a file written by root wouldn't be owned by root and would not exclude the user from being able to write to it.

When you set them as root they only applied to the root session; exiting back to user space removed them. You want to delete the current .bash_history file as it is probably only writable by root. Then set the same environment variables in your current shell and they should stick. When they work add them to your .bashrc file. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
