How can you modify the Bash history settings in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 to ensure that it retains the last 1000 commands that have been executed?
Show model answer
In RHEL 9, to configure Bash history to store the last 1000 commands, edit the .bashrc file in your home directory. Add or modify the following lines:
- HISTSIZE=1000
- HISTFILESIZE=1000
HISTSIZE sets the number of commands to remember in the current session, and HISTFILESIZE sets the maximum number of lines in the history file. After editing, save the file and restart your terminal for the changes to take effect.
