If I set history to a readonly file, then it unsets history. I'd like to
question this behaviour. Basically my motive is this: When I'm using
multiple window with multiple uid's, I often execute a command in the
wrong window. For instance, if I (say) wanted to mail someone
I might run it under root by mistake. Ok I say, I switch to the right
window and type:-
; history=/.rchist { - mush }
it just tells me to bog off. Do others think it might be useful to
change this behaviour? I don't want to have to chmod all my history
files to 666.
Something to think about anyway.
Dylan.
