 |
|
I have set WM to start up my console when I start x.
I can access the history commands of start up console with the up and down arrows. But it would not record the history commands into ~/.bash_history!
However, it would record when I open another console and do some commands.
But I would like to know how I can get the start up console to record into .bash_history, because that is the one I use. |

Do you have a HISTFILE variable set?
If not, open the man page and search for it. It is self explained then.

If this and all other HISTFILE related stuff like $HISTSIZE und $HISTFILESIZE and so on is set to normal values it should work. But recorded are the values when you exit the shell, is this maybe your problem? If not have you also checked, that these variables are set in the startup console not in another?
