Description Lars G 2005-09-25 17:42:52 UTC

bash-3.0-34 doesn't create entries in .bash_history here.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2005-09-26 09:18:29 UTC

The .bash_history file is written when bash exits.  How are you exiting bash?

Note that the signal handler itself had previously been writing the bash_history
file, using all sorts of C library functions that must not be called during a
signal handler, and so that particular instance of writing bash_history files
has been disabled.

Comment 2 Lars G 2005-09-26 11:35:38 UTC

using the gnome terminal,
.bash_history is not updated after closing it via the "close window" widget or
"file/close window".

when typing "exit" it closes and writes the .bash_profile OK here.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2005-09-27 13:08:36 UTC

This is just a consequence of fixing the signal handler issue. :-/

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2005-11-29 12:32:54 UTC

Hmm, need to fix this *somehow*.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2005-12-06 18:10:21 UTC

Let's see how bash-3.0-38 behaves.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2005-12-07 11:27:43 UTC

Hmm, 'while :; do :; done' doesn't get interrupted by SIGHUP now.  Fixed in 3.0-39.

Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2005-12-08 11:31:51 UTC

Also 'read line' didn't get interrupted by SIGHUP.  Fixed in 3.0-40.

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2005-12-15 10:57:10 UTC

Also bug #175786 is caused by this change.

Comment 10 Bob Johnson 2006-04-11 16:03:32 UTC

This issue is on Red Hat Engineering's list of planned work items 
for the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.8 release.  Engineering 
resources have been assigned and barring unforeseen circumstances, Red 
Hat intends to include this item in the 3.8 release.
