Hi Guys,
Suppose you want to temporarily disable recording history for the current Linux session.
You can do that using set command.
Eg,
jithinp ~ $ history
11 clear
12 ls
13 ls -alh
14 free
15 free -m
16 df -i
17 df -h
18 history
Now you can execute the command "set +o history" to disable history.
jithinp ~ $ set +o history
Now execute some other commands and let see if history command is recording it.
jithinp ~ $ vi ln
jithinp ~ $ vi ips
jithinp ~ $ cat ips
jithinp ~ $ history
11 clear
12 ls
13 ls -alh
14 free
15 free -m
16 df -i
17 df -h
18 history
See, it is not recording anything after we executed "set +o history".
If you want to enable it again, simply execute "set -o history"
Thank you for stopping by.
