    History for different tty

    I'm logged in as root and I can see that someone else from a questionable ip is logged in as root too. Is there a way to see the history on a different tty in this case mine is pts/1 and theirs is pts/0

    Thanks.

    Not right now, as your command history is stored in a buffer. You can add this to the ~/.bashrc (or /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, anything that is sourced when you log in):

    Code:
    shopt -s histappend
export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'
    This tells BASH to append the history (not overwrite) and to do so every time you return to prompt.
