Save your own bash history permanently?
 
Lets say I wanted to save my bash history permanently. I.e., so I could look in a log somewhere and find some command I used 6 months ago, like the one I used to get my printer drivers installed.

This only would be the history for my own user (not all users).

Try putting something like this in your ~/.bashrc file:
Code:
date >> ~/bash_historie
cat ~/.bash_history >> ~/bash_historie
You'll probably get commands which appear in that file plenty of times, but this quick and dirty quick-n-dirtiness will do the job.
