Im looking for something deeper. something which maybe requires me to explicitly say: $> context server-backup and then when i use history options such as up key, ^r also, it shows me commands which I had execute while in this context. I guess at a starting level, all Im looking to do is associate a context id with each history entry. And then have a plugin that handles the up key to show only commands associated with the current active context id. > > > -- > Sharninder > http://nomadicrider.com/ > -- > http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers > -- Puneet http://sahyog.blogspot.com/ Latest Post: javac -g -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
