alias not showing up in bash history

Hi,

I wrote a alias script and I want to run this script every day at 10 AM. I don't want to mention this alias command in .profile(Since alias commands are nearly 30 to use).

I want to clear the history so that no one should be able to see what commands I gave in the AIX OS level. I tried using history -c , ~/.sh_history, but they aren't working :wall:

Please tell me the command in ksh which can clear all the previous history?

Few tips to use with bash command history.

If you repeat some times the same command, like I usually do when checking memory with free -m You will end up with a lot of those command repeated through your command history, and if you type history You may see an output like this:

Say I have the following entries in my command history:

less documents/doc1.txt less documents/doc2.txt less files/file1.txt less files/file2.txt ls pwd

and that I have the following keyboard binding enabled:

bindkey '^P' history-search-backward

I have noticed that if I then type:

less documents ^P

ZLE brings

less files/files2.txt

as the first option, rather than:

less documents/doc2

I need to delete all commands in my history matching a string.

I want to push the bash history to my github account regularly,say everyday I will push the history to github, how do I do it. Any heads up. Is it possbile? The bash history file should be renamed to the current data-time. So that I can track. In spite of having a local bash history I prefer to have in github also.

Thanks a lot

I use multiple Konsole terminals. And I want all the commands i type in every terminal to be saved in command history, so that next konsole i open will have all of them.

Alias are a great tool to help increment your productivity on the terminal with bash (or any shell program you’re using), but usually we are too lazy to think at what are the most common, or long commands that we use frequently and prepare an alias for them.

And so someone has done a small piece of software to do this job: aliaser
