at first we should make sure that you are talking about the same console as I do: I consider everything that runs in X not to be a console, but the thing you get if you press for example Ctrl-Alt-F1 is a console. It is indeed a very annoying behaviour if it isn't implemented correctly, bash's implementation isn't significantly better than adding "(( $RANDOM % 2 )) && clear" to ~/.bash_logout. I'm sure that the people that maintain the possibly best interactive shell in the possibly best Linux distribution are able to implement this in a way that is not completely broken ;) I wonder if you still think that it's annoying if you know, that it only clears a console if, and only if, the parent process is /bin/login. > If a user wants to have such a behaviour because he considers to be > a security feature (I don't), ... If you still consider what I requested to be annoying (I think I should have made the intension and how it should behave more clear), I could grep bash's changelog for the bug number of the bug that contains the same discussion, which might save some time. > ... the user should configure that in his user's configuration. It's about the (recommended) user's configuration, no one will ever add this to a *global* zsh config file that is shipped with Debian.
