Terminal history gone.
I cannot get any recent version of FreeBSD 8.* to keep the csh or tcsh
history across a "reboot" in root or usr. It stays after "exit" and a new
login however.
Does the history stick around if you do "shutdown -r now" instead of
"reboot"?
No. I used shutdown -r now and shutdown -h now and they both blow it away.
My thinking was that reboot is more abrupt than shutdown, and killed the
shell without giving it a chance to write out the history.
But I've never noticed the history in a csh being written out before a
reboot of either type.
