Hi RudiC

history man page i found

the history shell variable may be set to the maximum number of command lines that will saved in the history file, that is:
set history = 200


and on google
i found another way
HISTFILESIZE = 200
HISTSIZE = 200

what i don't know the difference between the 2 way

Code:
man bash:

Quote:
HISTFILESIZE
The maximum number of lines contained in the history file. When this variable is assigned a value, the history file is truncated, if necessary, by removing the
oldest entries, to contain no more than that number of lines. The default value is 500. The history file is also truncated to this size after writing it when
an interactive shell exits.
. . .
HISTSIZE
The number of commands to remember in the command history (see HISTORY below). The default value is 500.
HISTSIZE commands are kept "online" in an interactive session, whilst up to HISTFILESIZE commands will be saved between sessions. The set history doesn't ring a bell.
