Yes. I can even tell you that the last time this problem occurs, the command after cmd1 was xinit, i.e. the first command I type after I log in. > } Here are my history options: > } > } incappendhistory > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > Are you also sure that you've never had two shells running at the same > time, such that their incremental appends to the history might become > interleaved? I probably had several opened shells. But here, I'm sure I typed both commands one after the other. And anyway, a xinit can't have been interleaved. It seems that cmd2 simply disappeared from the history; cmd2 probably was the last command I typed in the shell, then I logged out, and logged in again (thus, the xinit in the history just after cmd1). BTW, I use NFS, but all the shells were on the same machine. -- Vincent Lefèvre - Web: - 100% validated HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
