Hi,

You need to edit $HOME/.profile and add

HISTFILE=$HOME/.sh_history
export HISTFILE

Try as,

# set -o vi
# export HISFILE=$HOME/.history
# export HISTSIZE=1000

Put this in /etc/profile file. It will work.

There are few ways of setting up the HISTFILE Either it can be set in each user's profile $HOME/.profile OR system's profile /etc/profile
