Hi,
My installation of bash does not seem to read the ~/.bash_history although
it writes to it each time I quit bash. I tried therefore to initiate the
history by:
history -r ~/.bash_history
to see if it loads the existing history and this failed.
I did read the faq's and man pages etc. nothing seems to have any more info
on this.
Any help appreciated.
Also, I realize that my question may not be of a sufficiently "techie"
nature to be answered or even read, and so I would like to know if there is
another mailing group which may be less techie where such unfortunates as
me may recieve some help.
Narayan
