I'm not really sure what this does but I've used for over a year thinking it made all shell history buffers get saved to ~/.bash_history. I've never really tested to see what it does for sure. Its a bash built in called histappend that can be put into .bash_profile like this: shopt -s histappend -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
