The version I use is a file in /etc/profile.d that does this:
HISTSIZE=1048576
HISTFILESIZE=1048576
LAST_HISTORY_WRITE=$SECONDS
function prompt_command {
if [ $(($SECONDS - $LAST_HISTORY_WRITE)) -gt 60 ]; then
history -a && history -c && history -r
LAST_HISTORY_WRITE=$SECONDS
fi
}
PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND:-:} ; prompt_command"
so I guess that's the difference; mine clears and reloads the history
(if it's been more than 60 seconds since the last time it did it).
