Re: How to disable command prompt history?

That would depend on which shell you are running. Can you run the following command and post the results here? echo $SHELL By default most of the shells like bash, zsh, ksh have history option. But you can avoid writing the history of the current session to the history file by unsetting the HISTFILE environment variable. So next time when you login the history of the previous session will not be shown. sac. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
