In Bash, you can control the history in a couple of ways : Disable saving history using <span>set +o history and re-enable it with set -o history (note the inverted plus and minus). With history disabled, commands entered will not be saved in the history log, but previous ones will be availabl

Question
Set the file used to save the history
Answer

by setting HISTFILE (HISTFILE=~/somehistoryfile). You can disable it completely by unsetting the variable with unset HISTFILE.

If you disable the history file, you still have access to run-time history while the shell is running.

You can also set HISTFILESIZE to control the amount of commands saved in the file.

Question
Prevent saving certain commands in the history
Answer

by using HISTCONTROL and/or HISTIGNORE.

Setting HISTCONTROL to ignorespace will tell the shell to not save command lines starting with a space.

HISTIGNORE can contain patterns of commands not to save in the history. e.g. HISTIGNORE='ls:ls *' would prevent saving lines that contain only ls or ls, a space and anything after that.

For an "amnesiac" shell, you would need to apply one of those settings either manually when opening the shell, or set them in some shell startup script. One option would be to create, s

ng shell do not see this history. This is because the history is loaded only at the beginning of a new session. The only thing left is to manually force a reload of the history with the command <span>history -r Done. We have now access to other shells history. The last question: why don't we add the reload of the history directly in the PROMPT_COMMAND variable? Because you probably don't want

nfiguration files, .bashrc for instance. #save history after every command #use 'history -r' to reload history PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a ; $PROMPT_COMMAND" What we are saying here is to invoke <span>history -a with every new command prompt line. This flush the history to file every time we see a new command prompt. You can verify this if you monitory you .bash_history file. Have we reached wh
