Hey Guys,

 

i want to have a bash history to see my previus commands. But i didnt find any option for that.

 

Did anyone know how to do that?

 

Thanks

at the bash command prompt #

history

 

thanks but this is only from the last restart. Iam looking for all ever entered commands.

Since the OS runs in RAM and can't make any assumptions about anyones persistent storage there is nothing to keep that history. 

Oh ok but thanks for the info

is there a workaround, to enable this, if wanted?

Claude managed to give me this which seems to work ok:

Add this to your go file (which runs on every boot):

1. Edit /boot/config/go:

bash

nano /boot/config/go

2. Add these lines at the end:

bash

# Persist bash history
ln -sf /boot/config/bash_history /root/.bash_history
touch /boot/config/bash_history

3. Save and exit (Ctrl+X, Y, Enter)

4. Make the initial history file:

bash

touch /boot/config/bash_history
ln -sf /boot/config/bash_history /root/.bash_history

How it works

• /boot is your USB flash drive, which persists across reboots

• This creates a symbolic link from /root/.bash_history (the default history location in RAM) to a file on your USB

• The go file recreates this link on every boot

• Your command history is now saved to the USB automatically
