this appends the current session's history list to the history file.
Since the OP wants to share the history across sessions I assume this
includes sessions that are already running?
In that case he would also need to do a "history -n".
I don't know if the PROMPT_COMMAND supports more than one command - and
it's a bit late to test. :-)
But he could probably define a bash function something like:
shrhist ()
{
history -a $HISTFILE
history -n $HISTFILE
}
.. thus keeping his history lists & history file in sync' ..?
Thanks,
