sounds great but perhaps I dont understand the answer - I'm not a programmer or unix boy. I tried typing the following in a bash session but it didnt execute the exit statement when I closed the window.
$ myclosefn() {
> exit
> }
$ trap myclosefn SIGHUP
I guess Im hoping to find something I can put in my profile or bashrc that will behave as above to automagically perform the "exit" and save the history.
