As I issue commands from the root command line these commands get added to the history as one would expect. After rebooting the system, root's history contains the commands I issued before I rebooted the system, and any newly issued commands are added to the history as one would expect. Now here is the problem I am seeing. After any reboots the history contains only the issued commands from the first boot after the install from scratch. The history does not contain the commands issued before the last reboot. How can I configure the console command history for user root to be a rolling list of issued console commands that contain the history of the issued commands between 2 reboots, so after a reboot the history contains commands that were issued prior to the last reboot? Running 11.0 with sc console driver because vt does not have copy-paste ability. This problem is also in 7.x 8.x 9.x and 10.x series and now I need a resolution for this annoying tick. Thanks
