Neither you or me know wich shell the original poster was running.
It's very likely that he doesn't even know it himself.

> I guess one more reason to switch to the right Shell. hehe ;P

Exactly:

thorsten@galactus% zsh -c "autoload -U allopt; allopt | wc -l"
142
thorsten@galactus% bash -lc "(shopt; set -o; bind -v) | wc -l"
86

If it´s the default, then it´s bash.
When not, he´s smart enough to manage it by himself.

So many Options and they are not able to delete the history from
inside.

hmmm

"Interesting" logic. As convincing as "if he's smart enough to install
Gentoo, he's smart enough to manage it himself". Oh no, wait, you mean
"if he's dumb enough to ask such a question, he's surely using bash".
Well, that makes sense - in a weird way.

By the way, do you think /you/ are smart enough to "manage" the
difference between an apostrophe and an accent?!

Wrong logic again: zsh doesn't use a history file by default (like
bash). So if you yourself set your history file, why should you delete
it?! If you don't want a certain line written to history, you just
prepend a leading blank (this is an option of course). The whole
question only makes sense for bash.

By the way (II): your "history -c; history -w" doesn't empty the
history file. The only way to /really/ delete "all History commands
typed" is "rm $HISTFILE; unset $HISTFILE". And this is correct for
bash /and/ zsh.

You tested it, did you? I did and works, with bash.
Of course when you log out of an other shell then _it_
will rewrite those history.

Oh come on guy. It started as joke.
Why can´t you treat it like that?

If you feel better, I apologise to you.
Realy I don´t want to argue with and definitely against you. OK?

Have a nice day.

May not be builtins, but these 2 work from my shell:

% rm ~/.zhistory

% cat /dev/null > ~/.zhistory

Just one Info that I learned today:

You also can do:

> ~/.zhistory

(it works here, should work with zsh also, I think)


I´ve set "set -o noclobber" in .bashrc so for me it is:

>| ~/.zhistory


Have fun ;)

I've been using bash a bit more recently too. They are both good shells.
