I am running ubuntu 12.04, how can I configure my shell/ubuntu so that 'history' commands will display all the previous command from different shells?
Basically, I want to a list of my previous command regardless which shell I enter.
Thank you.

Change the location of each shell's history file to be the same. I don't know if that will work if you have multiple, different, interactive shells open -- I know two interactive bash logins will cooperate their usage of the history file. I'd bet the different shells just use standard, cooperative file locking. So they'll probably be just fine. I digress. eg for bash 'export HISTFILE=/home/someuser/.my_cross_shell_history' and then the parallel for each shell you use. |
