Thanx for your trie to help me. I checked the HIST* variables and all was ok. Then i made this discovery : By typing exit for a normal logout the bashhistory will be saved. But if i use <Strg>+<Alt>+<Del> for a reboot or if i use the command shutdown -h now, the bashhistory will not be saved. This was not so than i used RadHat and SuSE, which i tested bevor i get the meaning that Debian is the right thing for me. Is there any possibility to tell the bash that she shall save the history by using <Strg>+<Alt>+<Del> and shutdown -h now?
