[Cialug] How to add multiple instances of bash to your bash history

[Andrew Denner]

As was discussed at the meeting tonight, by default bash only writes the
last bash session running to the history blowing away any other instances.
Per
http://www.aloop.org/2012/01/19/flush-commands-to-bash-history-immediately/

If you add: "export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'" To your .bashrc file it
will append each command immediately to your bash history file
