How to avoid historying my command

Dear all,

Normally unix automatically record up to 500 the command lines whatever I put in. Does anyone knows how I can avoid this record, in another word, I dont want system remember what I typed in

thanks

ln -s histfile /dev/null

ln -s .bash_history /dev/null
this should make a symbolic link of .bash_history with /dev/null
and i know that data written to /dev/null is discarded without comment.

i tried this command but the shell complains that
"file exists".so what could be the reason.
