Thanks for the tip. I already have something using these flags implemented: PROMPT_COMMAND="$PROMPT_COMMAND;history -a; history -c; history -r") which is a functional hack, for the most part. It still has some of the problems mentioned in my original message (history is only added to after a command concludes, sporadic truncation still happens, etc), plus this approach is rather ugly. Thanks again, have a lovely day. -- Arsen Arsenović
