Do you think that echo will give you the expected results?
Try it yourself:
$ echo * 2 * * * yum -y update
and see/verify the output. A better approach is:
$ crontab -e

That depends on your /etc/syslog.conf, or have a look at:
/var/log/cron.log
/var/log/syslog.log
/var/log/messages

So you're talking about the shell's commandline history. A good howto on
disabling this for all users, or just you, can be found here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/SECURITY_Adjusting_The_Way_Bash_History_Funtions
Basically, you just need to set some HIST* environment vars. Having a
command history is really handy though, so I wouldn't be so presumptuous
as to disable it system-wide unless you're the only one using the system
(root & user). |

As far as your history being 'rotated' monthly - I'm not sure why that
would be happening. Maybe a paranoid admin is nuking all the users
~/.bash_history file once a month so that juicy passwords don't get left
sitting there? If that's your problem then I'd recommend you change the
default filename that bash uses for its historyfile as a workaround
(assuming your BOFH's script isn't also checking your .bash_profile for
this non-default filename.) |

The size of the command history is set by the HISTFILESIZE
variable. The default is 500 lines. You can change that in your
.bashrc file.

Mine is resetting on the first of each month. I want to configure it so the
history file never gets reset. |

How is it being reset?
Is the file emptied, or just truncated?
Is the old file renamed (and possibly compressed)?
Do you have a cron job that is doing it?
Is there an entry in /etc/logrotate.conf or /etc/logrotate.d/ that
is doing it?

It's been emptied at the first of each month.
/etc/logrotate.d/ shows nothing that would reset the history file:
apache ftpd linuxconf mgetty mysqld rpm slrnpull snmpd syslog
up2date
And cron doesn't seem to show anything either. |

What about /etc/logrotate.conf?

I suppose it's possible that RedHat does something strange, but I
don't know what; I don't run RedHat.
At what time does the resetting occur?
You could append everything to your own history file, and copy that
over the usual one when it is clobbered. Just change your
PROMPT_COMMAND and reread your file (put this in your .bashrc):
PROMPT_COMMAND='${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND;} history -a $HOME/.my_history'
history -c ## Clear your history
history -r $HOME/.my_history ## Restore from your own file

This worked for me:
Get Java at:
http://java.sun.com/
then:
cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/
ln -s /opt/jdk1.5.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so . |

I did just the same and I finally have Java working in Firefox.
I couldn't do it with version 1.4 of JRE, but now with Firefox 1.0,
JRE 1.5 and Fedora Core 3 it's working OK.

with SuSE 9.2 so I've tried out Fedora 3 as an extra boot on my spare box.
With SuSE there was a configuration/setup tool called Yast.
Is there anything similar in Fedora, or do I have to edit the config
manually?

I just switched from suse 9.2 to fc3 amd64 about a week ago. I love suse
but it was running a bit slow on my box. I really miss yast but there are
gui tools throughout fc3 that do most of the same things. Installing apps
is a different story. I tried apt and had dependency nightmares and
finally found a tool called yumex that will ease rpm installation.
this article has a link:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1754421,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03129TX1K0000616
I may eventually go back to suse but will stick with fc3 for now. The one
thing I noticed was that fc3 has many more amd64 compiled apps than suse
or mandrake. |
