Fedora History: missing commands entered
-
I've never dug into it, but I know for a fact on my desktop that is I have a terminal open and then open a second, the history is different.
How/why? Never cared to check. Annoying a few times when I wanted to be lazy, but only that.

@JaredBusch
I can see that.And yes- it isn’t a good practice to rely on ‘’’history’’’ for what has been done....
Pen and paper or another system to document is better. I could do that at home. Not so easy from a iPhone....
-
If you begin the line with a space, it won't track in your history. I believe Fedora does this by default if I remember correctly.

File access issues, I believe. They can't have both processes holding open the same file at the same time.

No, the history is completely different, like it is reading a completely different file. But I only have a single history file when I look.
I never looked into it beyond that.

That's what I mean, the second session has to open and use a second file.

But where is that file stored? Because that same "different" history is there everytime I open a second session.

I don't get that, at least not on Fedora. Both get the same and show the same file.

Same on Ubuntu, mutliple sessions, same file and contents.

Maybe it was over SSH. But I know i experienced it. I'll try and keep this in mind as I work over the next few days and get an example of where it was.

I tested SSH, and local. But I know what you mean and I've seen it before. But I'm trying to reproduce it now and can't. I think it must be something with being remote, though.
-
If you want to see where a session thinks that it is writing, use this command... echo $HISTFILE

Same. I just tried also. Annoying as hell when I know I have seen it.

I know I've seen that happen before as well, so make that 3. I just don't have time to look at the moment.
