I got problems with the zsh history, which is neither read nor written. I read the thread previously appearing in this list and tried to understand and check, what was said. 1.) Shell must be interactive: When given setopt on the command line I got interactive monitor shinstdin zle therefore I think the shell is interactive. On the other hand, the manpage stated, that (beside other things) /etc/zshrc is read. That is not the case. 2.) File could not be locked. How should I check this ? 3.) $HOME/.zsh_history is corrupted. I emptied that file....no effect. 4.) File permissions wrong. $HOME/.zsh_history is rw be myself only. 5.) HISTSIZE is "0" or not set. echo $HISTSIZE gives me: 9999 6.) SAVEHIST not set or "0": echo $SAVEHIST gives me: 9999 I have no idea what I wrong with my settings. What must be set to get the history stored and read ? Thank you very much in advance for any helpful reply ! :) Keep zshing! mcc
