Re: bash_history

Thanks Pavel,
I found the problem, $HISTCONTROL was being set in bash.bashrc:

    # Do not save dupes in the bash history file
    HISTCONTROL=ignoredups

This must have been added with SuSE 8.0 because it only became a problem
after the last upgrade, ive changed this to HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth which
fixes the problem.

thanks again

Adam
