I was srm'ing a bunch of files and at one point typed <up>, modified the command, and hit <enter> to delete a similarly named one. Pretty standard practice. <br><br>I then had a realization that the command I was using to securely delete the sensitive information actually left behind the file name of the file I was deleting in my bash history. But that also got me wondering where else things might get left behind and thought I'd see what everyone's thoughts were on that.<br>
<br>By the way, if any of you are curious, I ended up adding 'srm*' to my HISTIGNORE variable in .bash_profile filtered the command from the history.<br><br>-Kenny<br>
