It does not write once. It writes continously without break the
same 5 lines into hist5 file over and over and generates considerable load at your machine. Since every session has its own history this makes no sense to do.
I'm unsure, but I assume .bash_history file is written at logout. If you want to see another sessions history with this, this will not work.
