Re: csh tcsh history missing after reboot FBSD_8
What can I do to get the history to remain in memory across a reboot? Changing the capicity of set history to greater than 100 does not affect it. How about: shutdown -r +1 logout -Reko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
csh tcsh history missing after reboot FBSD_8
Aloha, Terminal history gone. I cannot get any recent version of FreeBSD 8.* to keep the csh or tcsh history across a reboot in root or usr. It stays after exit and a new login however. This happens on several machines that previously ran FreeBSD 7* with no issues. One runs AMD64 and one i386 versions.I can load Manolis Kiagias Desk top version on them and it works fine as do other 7.* versions. I suspect it has to do with PXE ? or something changed in the later versions of 8 Current BETA 1 and 2 since I have 2 boxes running early versions of 8 CURRENT where everything works fine and the history remains in tact following a reboot. What can I do to get the history to remain in memory across a reboot? Changing the capicity of set history to greater than 100 does not affect it.

My thinking was that reboot is more abrupt than shutdown, and killed the shell without giving it a chance to write out the history. But I've never noticed the history in a csh being written out before a reboot of either type. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
