[Tfug] bash history duplication?

[James Hood]

Earl,

It might be helpful if you provide some examples (commands you type, then what history outputs, like what Matt did). And explain what you expected, then paste what you actually got. Maybe your definition of "dup" isn't the same as Bash's.

I have a default line in my .bashrc file that says 

export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups

after reading the man page for bash(1), I understand this means
duplications won't happen.  I get dups.

====================================

Personally, I prefer to suppress the bash history.  I put this in .bashrc:

export HISTFILESIZE=0
