discovered something interesting while using the bash shell. It seems to work with tcsh so perhaps its not a bash bug at all..
anyway.. the "history" service will not pick up commands which have a few spaces placed in front of them. eg: torproxy:~ # history | tail -5 63 cd 64 ls 65 history 66 echo $SHELL 67 history | tail -5 torproxy:~ # history | tail -6 62 ls 63 cd 64 ls 65 history 66 echo $SHELL 67 history | tail -5 torproxy:~ # SLES 10 on i386. bash --version GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i586-suse-linux) -- Greg Whynott|IDTe Toronto|Systems and Networks 489 Queen Street E, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 1V1 _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
