Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
history -a; history -n doesn't seem to work anymore.
This used to add the most recent history command to the
history file and then reload the file to get updates from
all other shells. The affect was to share history among
shells.
Since upgrading from 2.0.4 I lose history commands with
this method. It may not have been a sanctioned method
before but it worked before the upgrade.
Repeat-By:
export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -n" in .bashrc
See above.
Fix:
Sharing history between all active shells would be a really
cool thing to put some more thought into at the level of
the history library. It's a cool feature and I suspect
that history -a; history -n isn't the right way to do it.
