The bash default is not to set that variable. But it looks like you are using Ubuntu and the Ubuntu package default is to set it in the default .bashrc file as a user level customization. If you don't like that configuration then edit your ~/.bashrc file and change this: # don't put duplicate lines or lines starting with space in the history. # See bash(1) for more options HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth Change that to something different. Perhaps simply ignoredups? HISTCONTROL=ignoredups Or whatever you prefer there. It is your .bashrc file. Customize it as you desire. Bob
