Might be the default aswell. $ info bash HISTCONTROL If history is enabled by set -o history, the default action if HISTCONTROL is unset or null, saves all instances of all commands, except those excluded by patterns in the HISTIGNORE list, up to the limit specified by HISTSIZE, default 500. -- Take care.

'info bash HISTCONTROL' It sounds like you are asking for the Cygwin /etc/profile (or the skeleton .bashrc file) to be tweaked to add a HISTCONTROL=ignoredups so that new installations automatically turn on that feature of bash. But in the meantime, you can modify your own ~/.bashrc to turn it on for yourself. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
