OPTIONS
The following options are supported: --udi The UDI (Unique Device Identifier) of the device object. --action PolicyKit action to check for. --caller The unique D-Bus name on the system bus of the caller. --help Print out usage. --version Print the version. RETURN VALUE
If an error occurs this program exits with a non-zero exit code. Otherwise the textual reply will be printed on stdout and this program will exit with exit code 0. Unprivileged callers (e.g. with a non-zero uid) can only ask about callers/processes that matches their own uid. BUGS

Shopt -s histappend

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file. # When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it shopt -s histappend (3 Replies)
