Hello
Today i came across this neat feature but unfortunately i have a problem with
it.
~/.bashrc
<----------------------------
export HISTCONTROL=erasedups
---------------------------->
$ history
1 history
$ top
$ htop
$ top
$ htop
$ history
1 top
2 htop
3 history
i close this shell and open a new terminal:
$ history
1 top
2 htop
3 history
$ top
$ htop
i close this shell again and *now* i get:
$ history
1 top
2 htop
3 top
4 htop
5 history
So it seems to me entries already written to ~/.bash_history are not
"eliminated".
Is this the supposed behaviour?
man bash:
<---------------------------------------------------------------
A value of erasedups causes all previous lines matching the current line
to be removed from the history list before that line is saved.
--------------------------------------------------------------->
>From that i would think only *one* appearance of entries that are the same
would be saved.
please give me a hint.
TIA Thilo
