I've been going thru a number of bash related web sites looking for the
way to eliminate duplicates in ~/.bash_history. So far I've turned up
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
export HISTCONTROL=erasedups
awk '!x[$0]++' .bash_history > .bash.tmp && mv -f .bash.tmp .bash_history
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
Tried them all in ~/.bashrc one at a time and rerunning .bashrc each time.
So far no joy. Any pointers and/or sources appreciated.
Thanks.
