Bash Shell History retained with multiple SSH sessions

  • 1.  Bash Shell History retained with multiple SSH sessions

    Posted Nov 18, 2024 10:35 AM

    It can be frustrating to lose part of your bash shell history when working with multiple SSH windows connected to the same virtual appliance.

    This often happens because the shell history is overwritten based on which session closes last. For example, you might have one window running tail_im_log and another for stop_im; start_im, leading to incomplete or conflicting history.

    To address this, we've compiled a few tips for config, imps, and dsa users to ensure all history is retained while also cleaning up any sensitive information that may be left behind.
