.sh_history Issue

MikeL_4 — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 09:04:50 GMT

We use CA's ETrust product on our HPUX 11.11 servers. ETrust adds a command of there own to the /etc/profile script: /etc/profile.CA

The problem we are seeing after a recent upgrade to ETrust is the /etc/profile.CA script is being written into the .sh_history file for each user each time they log in.

Has anyone seen anything like this before or know what could cause it ?

Thanks

Hi Mike:

If the addition was a function() then the body of the function will be written into the history file. In-line any code you add to the profile.

James, the lines being listed are within a function within the script.. So then this is normal ??

Well, that is the behavior I too have seen.

JRF forgot to tell you how to suppress logging of functions: ;-)
set -o nolog

You may have to add this to /etc/profile or better yet in /etc/profile.CA.
