| when typing into the shell it is supposed to clear your shell history. Which it does for my current shell tab. But I noticed that if I make a new tab in my shell I can us the up arrow and still see my history after I have input history -c. Is this is supposed to be this way or is there a more secure way to really all typed commands into shell? I somehow haven't really noticed this until now. |

| That just clears history in memory. You can do 'history -w' after 'history -c' to write it out to disk immediately rather than waiting for when the shell exists. |
