Hello,.... System: "Debian 2.2.18pre21" - "486dx" Bash version: "2.03-6"
Background: Recently I have written a shell-script that is supposed to append every minute new history lines to a alternate file where they are being processed further. Problem: The command `history -a file` can't be executed from the shell-script it only executes when entered from the command line "interactively". Question: Can it be that I need to create a separate shell for this script in this script or something like that so that `history -a file` can be executed from the script? Or should I solve it in another way?? Any pointers, hints, solutions or information would be great.. Regards....
