12:55

@souravc are you there

souravc

13:16

yes

just came

Avinash Raj

what does this command

echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "' >> ~/.bash_profile ; bash

see this askubuntu.com/a/391087/202806

souravc

Avinash Raj

does it make the changes permanent to history command

souravc

i mean, as long it is there in .bashrc

change will remain

if you want to remove remove the export line

Avinash Raj

yes,i try that but it not shows after i close the current terminal and rerun the history command on another terminal

i want to make the changes permanent.what can i do?

i created an alias for that two commands,it works.can i post that.

souravc

13:22

put it into .bashrc

Avinash Raj

what i had to add in the .bashrc

souravc

echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "' >>~/.bashrc'

try it in terminal

or add this line at the end of .bashrc

export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T"

source .bashrc

Avinash Raj

but it doesn't work,you can try.

souravc

what you did?

Avinash Raj

echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T " >> ~/.bashrc'

source ~/.bashrc

souravc

13:32

give me output of cat ~/.bashrc | tail -n 2

Avinash Raj

nothing

souravc

why

Avinash Raj

means i can't see the lines on .bashrc

i directly edit the bashrc and then try that

souravc

do it

Avinash Raj

i works

souravc

13:36

no...I think it is not the exact answer of that question.

It just put a time stamp

not the time when it was executed

Avinash Raj

does the @mitch's answer make the changes permanent

souravc

it will if .bash_profile is sourced

Avinash Raj

so what the use of bash on the last

souravc

I am not sure, it might source

Avinash Raj

so why does he export the line to .bash_profile instead of .bashrc

souravc

13:43

How can I say it?

if you remotely connect a system .bash_profile is sourced

Avinash Raj

A: How to create a permanent "alias"?

Add your line into ~/.bashrc or into ~/.profile / ~/.bash_profile for remote logins. If you want the command being executed for all users, put it into /etc/bash.bashrc.

souravc

it says as I said

~/.bash_profile for remote logins.

Avinash Raj

remote logins means login to another pc via network.am i correct?

souravc

like ssh

Avinash Raj

can i post the answer like you said

souravc

13:49

you can, but who am i to say, you can say what is fact

Avinash Raj

i can't understand

souravc

what?

Avinash Raj

i can't understand your previous comment

souravc

I said you are free to say what is fact

Avinash Raj

k sourav

@Aakash is there any doubts for you

@souravc am i correct askubuntu.com/a/391085/202806

Avinash Raj

14:24

@Aakash r u there

souravc

to be frank, I think it is not the exact answer of that question

you can notice

Avinash Raj

then which was

souravc

when ever you open the terinal

I am trying

you will get new time stamp for the same old command

Avinash Raj

you said there was a conflict in timestamps between two commands which are same

souravc

when you close the terminal and open again note an old command

Avinash Raj

14:35

yes,the order of commands r same but the timestamps differ

souravc

in fact those times are not the real time when they were applied

Avinash Raj

yes

just now i run the history command but it shows 15/12/13 19:56:53

souravc

it was the last one, what you just entered will be updated after you close the existing terminal

Avinash Raj

it was not updated even i run the history command on closing the current one and reopen the another

souravc

first try any other cmd then history then close

Avinash Raj

14:53

yes it works.
