Subject: [Buildroot] Shell history w/ ASH spans multiple ash instances
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:49:35 -0500	[thread overview]

I thought I'd try this list first since:

1. Busybox is an integral part of buildroot
2. buildroot's default config for busybox is in effect and if it's just 
a config thing, then it's good to know what's up.

To follow up briefly: In looking at the source in libbb it appears 
disabling CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_SAVEHISTORY will stop libbb from 
writing to ~/.ash_history
Older versions I've used had SAVEHISTORY enabled but didn't dynamically 
load it from various instances of interactive shells causing thr 
cross-shell history sharing -- perhaps this is a new "feature".  I don't 
need the history saved and loaded constantly or on shell exit so I'll 
try turning that off.

Sorry for using the wrong list -- but at least you can see my reasoning 
for starting w/ the buildroot list.

If anything further is needed w/ this topic, I'll move over to the 
busybox list.

Thanks,

-Eric Malkowski
