Bug ID: 283310
Summary: /bin/sh history is not saved unless exit is used
Product: Base System
Version: 14.2-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin

sh only saves its history if you end the session with an explicit exit command.
If the sh session is closed via a signal (reboot, ssh connection drop/timeout,
terminal emulator closes tab/window, etc.) sh does not appear to save its
history.
I have tested this with others, we have set our HISTFILE and HISTSIZE so that's
not the issue.
I can recreate it by opening a foot terminal window in my river wayland
compositor and entering a command. If I then type fc -l I see the command typed
in the history. But if I close that window without typing exit and then open a
new terminal window all the history from that last terminal session is gone.
The same happens via an ssh connection or if I close down my window manager,
the history is lost. The only way to save the history is to type exit before
closing the window. This issue doesn't just happen in a wayland compositor it
could be an X session too.
I see this has been reported before but ignored due to lack of information.
Hopefully I have provided enough info.
