Allthough I'm not familiar with the particular problem you
described, I observed that the history sometimes (!) does
not survive a reboot. It may have to do with a situation
where more than one shell is running. Idea: The last shell
closed (even forced) saves its history, so the history of
the other shells gets lost.

I've set those globally in /etc/csh.cshrc:

        set history = 100
        set savehist = 100

Sometimes, history survives, sometimes it doesn't. Very
strange...



Aloha Poly,

I'm glad to have somebody confirm this. I thought it was funny that this was happening.

I have earlier CURRENT 8 running on a couple of machines and they never acted this way.

This is root that is doing this on my test box.
 set history = 100
 set savehistory = 100
are in the .cshrc file.

I'll look in /etc/csh.cshrc

Thanks...
