Hi Peter,
After removing entries from the history (using "history -d" or
"history -c"), the entries are obviously buffered. When I close the
terminal and the open another, the history is available again
Do you have a .bash_history file in your home directory. Does it gain
new lines at the bottom as you enter commands in a terminal? Or only
when the terminal exits? Do those lines include test ones that you've
deleted?
Yes, thank You, Ralph. Indeed, I forgot about that, as I'm usually not
changing that. IMHO it's nevertheless a bad concept those removed
commands are still stored inside this file. In my case, the problem was
my sudo password, which I accidently typed in because sudo timeout had
not yet been reached.
Kind regards
Peter
