E.g., /dev/pts/7 I would seriously doubt it. Terminal assignment is a kernel-level function, and opening that up to user processes would introduce all manner of venues for abuse. I'm curious to hear about *why* you are separating your HISTFILEs, though. My guess is that you have a set of different ssh session "types", and you want to be able to isolate history entries for each function. Is that correct? If so, I'm fairly certain that we can come up with another system for you that is not tied to getting assigned a specific pts. -Erik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
