I encountered a weird question while using tcsh. I wrote a test script trying to control 'history' behavior as below,
I was hoping all the user's commands input in multiple terminals can be recorded to the history file without lose.
My script can worked well in RHEL 6 ( the default tcsh version is 6.17).
However, when I tested my script in RHEL 4/5 (tcsh version 6.13 / 6.14), the precmd alias resulted in command line in malfunction.
Whatever I input on the command line after running my script, it was just jumping to the newline, nothing happened.
I have no idea what went wrong. Does anybody have idea? Thanks.
