In old times I have done it, unfortunetaly bad tracking when I lost it. (Cywgin & zsh 4.2) (think it works with Linux-compiled zsh, doublechecking) Mainly my sharing is decided by: # History ################################### # IncAppendHistory for sharing between shells.. NOW.. setopt HISTIGNOREDUPS HISTIGNORESPACE EXTENDED_HISTORY setopt INC_APPEND_HISTORY SHARE_HISTORY HISTSIZE=300 SAVEHIST=300 HISTFILE=~/.history The last line, HISTFILE, freezes the cygwin-distributed zsh (4.2.0) just after reading the config-files. Removing just that line creates a bunch of .history-XXX files. On cygwin I configured (by setting "named FIFOs to work" to false) and compiled zsh 4.2.3, but it doesn't seem to share the history. Anyone who have been messing with the history as I do? /Andy -- Don't walk in front of me, I might be unable to follow you. Don't walk after me, I might be unable to lead you.
