How history is handled varies from shell to shell (and you didn't bother telling us which shell you're using).

Look at the man page for your shell and search for the description on that page for a description of the HISTFILE variable. (Note that changing HISTFILE might not affect the current shell execution environment; but if you export it and exec a new shell, it should be effective in that environment.)

If you don't find HISTFILE, look for history file or history to find out how to set the history file for your shell.
