Here's a good one...
This one will not just print out your bash history but will actually
execute every command in your bash history. I wouldn't recommend
running this "as is". It could have devastating effects. What I did to
test it was to create a fake .bash_history that I called bash_histuree
and changed '~/.bash_history' in the script to '~/.bash_histuree'
#!/usr/bin/perl
sub relive {
$command = shift;
print `$command`;
}
while(1){
open(HISTORY, '~/.bash_history');
while($moment = <HISTORY>){
relive($moment);
}
}
