Hi,
it seems to be inordinately difficult to persuade the history (or fc) commands to list only the commands evaluated in the current session (ie, the contents of the in-memory history buffer).
something like:
gets some way there, but it also requires manually appending history to .bash_history, since the manual append seems to disable the append on exit. So, maybe...
But this means the in memory history is appended to $HISTFILE whenever the command is used, so the commands are appended multiple times.
To sum up, listing the history of the current session seems like something a user might want to do. A search online reveals plenty of advice about executing the second to last command starting with 'cc' (something I can't imagine myself ever wanting to do) but absolutely nothing to answer this question.
Am I missing something?
Cheers,
bitrat
