Operating Systems Solaris how to clear command history Post 302268836 by pupp on Tuesday 16th of December 2008 11:39:29 AM

i dont know how to directory kill the file but you can run
Code:
# set history=0

and this will prevent any history capture as well as keep someone from display your history from previous commands (or previous history lists).

`history -c` is a bash function and not a linux os function. if you move to bash, you can clear your history as usual. i can do this on solaris without issue.

       -V, --version
	      Show version of program.

       -a, --ignore
	      Ignore the history file.

       -d, --scan=SECS
	      Sample statistics every SECS second.

       -e, --errors
	      Show errors.

       -n, --nooutput
	      Don't display any output.  Update the history file only.

       -r, --reset
	      Reset history.

       -s, --noupdate
	      Don't update the history file.

       -t, --interval=SECS
	      Report average over the last SECS seconds.

       -z, --zeros
