Temporary command history on local machine
Hey guyz,

I'm trying to get the command history for my active users sessions on the local machine and i kinda hit a tough wall
Is command-line history for my current user saved somewhere else besides $HOME/.bash_history?
I have been told that there is some temporary file stored on the local machine but i really cannot find it.. and i cannot acces the /home directory on the server.
Waiting for any ideas Smilie

When you login with your name, folder with your login name will have the folder .sh_History

Well, i already specified .bash_history file, so i am working on bash shell... And i already have this file, i am asking if there is any other temporary location where this is stored before being writtten to .bash_history, because bash_history is written when u close the session, but u can browse through your latest commands using the Up-arrow; also using history shows all the latest commands..
