Append bash history to another file during logout
 
Hi friends ,

I am using Redhat Linux 5.6 . I want to delete all my 'history' command information during logout , but before deleting it copies to a new file .
Also , each time of logout , it appends the new history command of that particular new file .

Is anybody help me to do this ?

Code:
man history
In the case of current Ubuntu Server the command you would want would be something like this. I'd imagine RedHat would be similar but the man command will tell you what you want specifically.

Code:
cat ~/.bash_history >> yourfile
rm ~/.bash_history

Thx jmgibson ,

But I want to append the output during logout time .
Also I want to add date i.e., ' HISTTIMEFORMAT' with the .bash_history output .

there is a ~/.bash_logout file, see man bash about its usage. Probably that's what you need.
