Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on KARAF-798:
--------------------------------------------
protected File getHistoryFile() {
return new File(System.getProperty("karaf.history", new
File(System.getProperty("user.home"), ".karaf/karaf.history").toString()));
}
So, using -Dkaraf.history allows you to define the location of the history file
(and it falls back to .karaf/karaf.history in the user home if not defined).

> We have a servicemix-based product that has to perform a setuid to a
> lower-privileged user while running on linux. We've accounted for most
> permissions-based issues that result from doing this by ensuring that the
> lower-privileged user has write access to the necessary files under the data
> directory.
> Unfortunately, we can't do this with karaf.history since it is written to the
> home directory of the user that started the stack (root in this case). The
> lower-privileged usually doesn't have *any* visibility into this directory,
> let alone write privileges. If a configuration option was provided to
> specify the location of the karaf.history file (or the option to not even
> write or expect to find one), then we could treat this file like any other.
