Let's ignore the tone of the question, and try to answer it. Here is what I consider may be wrong: 1. The shell does not exit on Ctrl-D / EOF 2. When the shell does exist on Ctrl-C (SIGHUP) 3. When it exists on Ctrl-C (SIGHUP) it does not save history. 4. (Potentially a problem) saving stop now in the history. For starters, I hope you agree that (4) is not the real problem here. (1) and (2) make the Asterisk shell different from standard shells. In s standard shell Ctrl-C is supressed (so it will only affect programs you run from it, and not the shell). Ctrl-D and end of input cause the shell to exit. (3) seems to be the real thing that bothers Douglas. And as usual, Douglas manages to complain with the wrong tone and thus getting people to flame him rather than consider his argument seriously. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

That's the entire point that stop now was NOT the last command on the CLI, yet it shows up at the most recent upon recall with the Up key. I have the same, except in my case it's stuck on show channels (which is rather convenient so I didn't complain). And yes, it doesn't matter if I exit the CLI with Ctrl+C or exit. In my case it's probably a permission issue since I run * non-root and chroot'ed. Either way, I don't see why the history could not be save upon exit with Ctrl+C -- the mySQL client does it. Actually using quit the history is saved. That makes three more keystrokes, but using Ctrl+C to end something gracefully just makes me shudder. I even do not like using that combination for CopyPaste (preferring CtrlIns)... I think a point has been made that having stop now in the history is inconvenient for many people. My personal opinion is that NOT storing the commands - exit - stop - quit in the history would improve its usability. Getting Ctrl+D to work would help too. IIRC it boils down to catching SIGHUP (instead of/additional to SIGINT for Ctrl+C). I do not know wether those discussions have been had on the developers list, so it could be worth to bring it to attention over there. The code changes in question would expectedly be trivial; if there was some kind of consensus (more complicated) someone e.g. me could do that.
