.bash_history for multiple windows

Asked by Morons

I'd like to see proper handeling and history from multiple windows handled correctly, It is frustrating to "lose" history log for commande executed plainly because 2 or more she is active.

Please can you incorporate this

ITMT: Can someone point me to an Alternative solution ?

Thanx

Try this... Add these two lines to your $HOME/.bashrc:

shopt -s histappend
PROMPT_COMMAND="$PROMPT_COMMAND;history -a"

If this works, I can look into getting this fixed properly...

I now do get an error

bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: line 1: `;history -a'

Try this instead in ~/.bashrc:

shopt -s histappend
[ -n "$PROMPT_COMMAND" ] && PROMPT_COMMAND="$PROMPT_COMMAND;history
-a" || PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a"

Can you help with this problem?
