 |
|
Im sorry for the newbie question but, everytime i reboot from root#; I loose the history for bash.
If i want to keep the history, i have to logout and login again and then shutdown or reboot.
Anyone knows a workaround for this? 
Thanks |

|

no problem 
btw, you should look into "sudo", that way you can set a certain user to be able to shutdown without having to become root (saves you from typing su - and then the password).
you will have to emerge "sudo" and edit your "sudoers" file, and allow that user to shutdown without a password.
check the man pages for "sudoers" if you need more info, or I can post my sudoers file if you cant figure it out.
good luck. |
