$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
Description:
FEATURE REQUEST:
when storing history, skip failed commands depending on exit status,
controlled by a third option "ignorefailed" added to HISTCONTROL
failed command lines stored in ~/.bash_history are mostly useless
cluttering my bash history
if a command failed due to a typo, and I issue a second, corrected
version of the command line, it would be VERY nice, having ONLY the second
version stored in bash history, NOT the failed first version
if possible, should handle case (b) additionally to (a):
(a) use history facilities to reedit the failed command line
(b) retype corrected command line completely without unsing history
facilities
I tried PROMPT_COMMAND='PrStat=$?;SomeOtherCommands;if [ "$PrStat" ==
"0" ] ; then .. ' and similar, when bash executes this $PROMPT_COMMAND, $PrStat
is ALWAYS empty, in addition $HISTCMD always empty .. I gave up.
