Trivia question - Does bash write to .bash_history any time other than on exit? If so, when?

@hal_pomeranz - I looked up how to make the shell append. Is that what you're asking about? Or, a condition forcing writing to it?

@CCrowMontance Shell append still happens on exit only

@hal_pomeranz - history -a in the prompt forces it at every prompt display. 馃榿

@CCrowMontance Sigh. Fine. Without actually running a command to explicitly update .bash_history...

@hal_pomeranz - OK, I figured that wasn't what you were asking. I don't know. So, I'll click on the clickbait.
